snag free

I have a couple I keep on my harness for various things that need locking. Snag free nose and light weight is nice. I do however, like the little mammut locker more.

good size
Review by: elnero, 2007-04-17
I like the size a lot, and the keylock nose is also good. Lighter than the petzl attache by..maybe a few grams if you care. All that being said, I like the attache just a smidge more, it seems the BD has less surface for the rope to run, maybe I'm just used to the petzl biner, i dunno. either way, this is a great, small HMS. Good to keep at least one extra if you drop your belay device and its biner, learn the munter hitch.

cheap
Review by: elnero, 2007-04-17
I use these to rack slung gear like hexes and tricams, little lighter than the solid gate ovals, the Doval is lighter still, but more expensive. Really, its a cheap easy biner, multipurpose, pretty light.

cheap
Review by: elnero, 2007-04-17
not sure what you can say bad about these.. the weight is just about it. I use these to rack my wired pro, I've had some problems racking wired pro on wiregates, it seems they like to try and escape. It's also nice to have 4 of these to use the biner brake to rap if you drop your belay device. oh, and theyre stupid cheap.

pricey but worth it
Review by: elnero, 2007-04-17
mostly what everyone else said, the weight isnt a big deal, but the bulk is much nicer with these guys. I like to keep a few nylon ones around for autoblocks and such, but these definitly make up most of my alpine draws.
