Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"The Shield Quickdraw utilizes DMM's one-of-a-kind Wirelock design to allow super-easy clipping in the most desperate situations. The Wirelock gate has low mass to keep it from fluttering open in a fall, and the keylock notch makes clipping and unclipping far easier than with standard carabiners. Though the Shield Quickdraw is great for sport and trad climbing, the freeze-proof gates and water-repellant Dyneema sling also make it ideal for ice and alpine climbing. DMM made this quickdraw out of aluminum for a low weight of 2.7oz, so it won't weigh down your harness when you start up the ninth long pitch of the day."

From GearX.com:
"Featuring DMMs patented Wirelock system, the Shield utilizes an I-beam construction, allowing it to be lightweight yet incredibly strong (10 Kn open gate)."

From US Outdoor Store:
"Description of DMM Shield 12cm QuickdrawThe Shield features a patented clean nose design and I beam technology.The clean nose means the biner does not snag gear, steep routes can be cleaned easily and there are no recesses on the nose to catch on protection and allow the biner to be dangerously loaded away from the spine.The Shield is based on the original Wirelock, but features several improvements. A narrower nose allows small pegs and bolts to be clipped easily, whilst the revised gate means clipping is faster and cleaner. The use of the I-beam technology has allowed DMM to reduce the weight from 44g to 35g and still keep the fantastically strong 10kN open gate strength. A good size, a ergonomic shape and a low weight make this a great quickdraw.Features:Weight: 76gStrength Gate Closed: 24kNStrength Gate Open: 10kNStrength Minor-Axis: 9kNGate Opening: 21mmRope Bearing Surface Width: 9.6mm"
