Review by dude1971 Good Features  the biner I use for racking ALL my gear… PERIOD!!!! It has been field tested in the worlds best stomping ground "Yosemite" with the guru's of climbing. The way I see it, if it was good enough then, well it is DAMN sure good enough now. Can't beat the price and how readily available the biner is where ever you purchase it. Bad Features  NONE dude's! Recommended Alternatives  Why recommend or change?

Review by fb_1030170280 Good Features  its ovular shape, good to put 3-4 (depending on size) pieces of passive protection on Bad Features  the fact that it isnt keylock makes the little tooth thing catch on protection, making hard to manipulate with one hand Recommended Alternatives  a keylock version of an oval carabiner

Review by marks Good Features  Great for racking nuts and building anchors. Bad Features  Fairly heavy (62 grams) Recommended Alternatives  They make a wire gate version of this.

Review by IanW1960 Good Features  A must-have for aid climbing. D-shaped crabs can shift under load - a gut wrenching experience when you're holding your breath on a marginal skyhook or RP. Bad Features  Obviously not as strong as a D shaped crab. Recommended Alternatives  .
