These cams have been in the market for sometimes and poor climbers who can not effort to buy the common made cams are going after them ,mainly in Europe but I seen some been resold in north America.
Looks like they were made in my own garage (even due I can make them better) but I am not too sure about this 18 KN rating they claim. I am sure someone in RC has a bunch of these in their rack if so; tell us what you think about them.

I climbed with a guy from Eastern Europe last week and he had a set of these.
They aren't smooth, but they're solid and I didn't feel any less safe over them than I did my own C4s.
Hell, I'd use them over Aliens any day.

Are you even serious? This old sorry link comes up every so often, usually from the n00b pool. But then again, Maybe I should expect that king of drivle from you?
hosh.

The weight is listed in the eBay listing, majid. Scroll down a bit.
I think it was about 650 grams for the set of 5? I don't know how that compares to more recognized brands.

They weighed a little more than the comparable C4 but not as much as an OP link cam.

I have one of the yellows. rymep's observations are correct: the action isn't particularly smooth, but the cam itself is solid, and places pretty much like any other cam on my rack.
rc.commer boku tested one to failure, and it was stronger than listed in the various ebay adverts
petrenkoworld has been the usual vendor for these KROK items.

A friend of mine bootied a teal colored one a couple of weeks ago. I placed it two days ago. Didn't fall on it but looks solid to me.
For that price, you don't expect C4 smoothness, but it placed well enough for me to trust climbing over it.
Someone mentioned in another post that you could easily make offsets with these. Might not be a bad idea.
