durable
Review by: evanwish, 2009-05-10
I've had my pair for almost 3 years and with one resole, they lock beautifully in cracks and work great. 2 years ago when i broke my ankle i told them they could NOT cut the shoe... caught them just in time... great shoe and i'll be keeping them for quite a few years (with resoles)

awesome big gear
Review by: evanwish, 2009-03-09
this is pretty much the only big gear besides the big bro. Besides the fact that wide cracks aren't too popular, there's no point in anyone else making big cams like this because i really can't see it getting any better.
-[i]relatively[/i] low price
-surprisingly large expansion
-extremely stable even when near tipped out
-lobes are stable for easy pushing up with you

actually holding up!
Review by: evanwish, 2008-03-25
I got one of these a year ago and use it all the time. the #4 is much more narrow than the BD equivelent making it a little less stable, and the ridged stem limits the placement oppertunities but supprizingly for such a cheep cam it's holding up and is much more smooth than my BD cams!!
