"Used this one for ATC rappelling & guide belaying with a DMM Pivot. It has a good wide surface for both ropes that gives good rope friction control on the pivot. The twist lock is smooth and easily doable one-handed."
"Well made and good action. Nice to have a little extra security."
"Easy to use and bomber! I use this with my belay device"
"It works :3"
"I use it as my main belaying biner. The auto locking mechanism works flawlessly and is easy for me to use. There is a very small bit of play on the gate while it’s open which is no real issue, but a personal annoyance."
"How about this carabiner for my ATC, used it for the first time at El Potrero Chico! It worked great!"
"reliable self locking mechanism, my favorite go to carabiner, perfect size for variety of gear"
"Great carabiner. The twist action auto lock is awesome. This is my go to carabiner for my ATC so that I don’t have to worry about a screw lock unscrewing itself. The round nature of the carabiner makes the rope run smoothly through the ATC."
"Compact and secure with round stock where the rope runs. Great for tube style belay devices."
