Tricky at first but then a great biner

by Nat, Verified Owner from NY, United States Written on May 1, 2018
At first I didn’t like this locking carabiner. A guide I have been working with had them and I found them really fiddly and annoying. But after using them for a week my opinion changed and I really like them and ended up buying some of my own. They are a little hard to use one handed but can be with practice hence the 4 instead of 5 stars.

Lightweight, low profile, easy operation. Excellent all round auto-locker

by Brian C., from NJ, United States Written on May 10, 2015
It's very light weight. It's low profile enough to be able to be rotated in a hanger, as opposed to the bulk you find on regular autolockers. It's my go to locking carabiner now.

Most lockers can be unlocked by turning the knurl. This can be done, as long as you can touch the knurl. For example, if the gate is facing away from you, grabbing the sides of the knurl to turn the autolocking mechanism is how you unlock it. With the slider, you need to get a finger on the slide locking mechanism. If access to the slide mechanism is blocked, you can't unlock, obviously.

Just like all climbing gear, understanding the gear's limitation is critical. For me, the low weight and profile offset the unlikely possibility of not being able to unlock.
