Might Just Be Weak, But Untwistable.

Seems strong, but after a year of use the screwgate got stuck. After 15 minutes of trying to untwist it. i gave up and cut my selfbelay-sling off. Luckily there were some kids fishing nearby, so my belay partner could go borrow a knife and tie to the bottom of the rope so i could cut myself out of the selfbelay. What i take away from this, have a knife/plyers in your climbing bag while outside. This might be an storrage/user error. on my part? i usually store all my carabiners etc in my climbing bag, so there might some dust/chalk inside them. however i have other models from blackdiamond/petzl etc. That are stored in the same bag that are way older i havent had the issue with. i'd upload a photo, but the screwgate is still suck in the mountain, and my phone was on the ground. Might go back and try to unscrew it some day as a challenge, unless somebody strong and handsome have taken it down before then.

Very Beautiful

The surface treatment is very perfect. Like a work of art.

Light, But Could Be Better

First the good: it’s light, robust, and big enough to work with gloves. The locker is smooth and should be relatively tolerant of sand and water in use. Overall, excellent functionality. All that said, the finish is a little rough, which could wear ropes and things faster, and the locker has no unlock warning indicator like competitors do. In summary, I’d call it very good but not great.

Small And Lightweight

Smaller than expected but still has the same strength

The Best Carabiners I Have

I love small and light these carabiners are. They are great for cutting weight for long mountaineering objectives, the only issue you might have is how small they are if you are wearing giant mittens.
