I picked up a hand full of these at REI cause they were on sale.They are lite,have a smooth action but I feel like they are hard to clip.The gate opening is a little small.Great for trad.

I have a hand full of these and I like them alot.They are heavier than some but I really like the action and they are easy to clip a rope into.

Lets face it a quickdraw is a quickdraw.Yes there are ones with smoother beiners,and there are lighter ones out there,but they all do the same job.These draws are great for beginners,or more experienced climbers that don't want to spend alot of cash.

It's small light weight,good to have on your belt for repelling,if you leave your ATC on the ground with the belayer.

We have one of these on our RRT and it is great.The ability to use it as a "A" frame or "easel" works out great.
