The standard for light d biners. For general biners, you can't beat them, but for specific applications, you can always find a better biner. Twisted relationship: i'll always have a handful just in case (cause they'll work for anything), but they're not the biner of choice in any situation.

Cheap, lightweight. They rotate, making racking gear painful. They rotate on slings, gear, everything ... its like they were designed to be flippped ... 'cause once they flip they stay that way.

I use hte screwlock as my preferred locker for PPs. They're big and beefy and the offset gate means you can fit everything in it.

The standard. I only wish you could attach two biners to the bottom. The biner attachment at the top means you'll never drop the bugger off the line.

Like it. The gear slides a bit. Mine has been heavily modified, as per PTPP suggestions, which overcome a lot of problems. For the money, its worth it.
