Seeing as you hang out here so much, I am surprised you missed this slap-fest.
(you might not have been online much at the time...?)

I own quite a few pieces of fusion gear, and it's all been great.
In response to the slap fest
http://safety.theuiaa.org/front/front_search_list.php
Boom! UIAA certified 'biners
Also a review of all their gear can be found here:

I'm calling BS on the above post. Ever time people at RC.com trash a crappy climbing company, some brand new user with only a post or two magically appears to defend the brand.
There are two possibilities here
1) You're a shill for Fusion. In that case, I only have more dislike for Fusion's shady practices and crappy products
2) You're not a shill. In that case, you are defending a brand which has a recent history of fraud, misinformation, and godawful gear design, which just makes you plain wrong.
Either way, shenanigans has been invoked.

I would have said that Fusion Climbing can suck my sweaty dick, but I'm worried that they are as bad as dick sucking as they are at making climbing gear, which could cause some problems. Especially since they don't seem to understand what "clean nose" and "no snag" mean.

Thanks! And, no, I don't work for Fusion. I wish I was that lucky to work for a climbing company. But, I did receive some discounted gear in return for my honest opinion on their products.
And, like I said, I use it and almost all of it has been up to par (see review)

Also see this thread:
http://www.rockclimbing.com/...post=1898337#1898337
So, I was a little miffed, actually a lot, that I bought some biners that said UIAA that weren't. They were in fact black listed on UIAA web site when that thread went down. I looked personally.
However, since that all went down I got a BD rocklock for my belay/rap biner. However the Fusion biners have stayed on my rack and I use they. They have not had any issues and work properly. But in the back of my mind I wonder and worry a little.

True that.
But I do use them.
