So after using mine for a while now I've decided that the two segment nature of the Gridlock is a PITA. I constantly get my finger stuck in the gate while trying to manipulate the biner around my belay device and belay loop. I think I'll go back to a regular biner.

I benched mine a while ago. Far more trouble than it's worth.

I use mine exclusively with my gri gri for single pitch stuff. I don't use it with an atc for cleaning and rapping so i don't have to worry about dropping it. I don't think that's really an issue anyway, but i guess it's just one more complication.

For what I use it for it works well.

I agree it does work well with the grigri. I was using mine at work and at times I switch devices and it was just a pain.

I just got one to use with my basic for TR solo. It works great for that but i would never use for a belay
it works nice for sure.
