From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Metolius Power Cam Pack (Spring 2008) The Power Cam Pack by Metolius are the all-around workhorse of the Metolius line. Power Cams are at home on any type of rock, from the big walls of Squamish granite to the desert towers of Utah Sandstone, from mountainous Rockies limestone to super-hard Gunks quartzite. They're also perfect whether you're free or aid climbing, high in the mountains or at a roadside crag. With the new Range Finder feature giving you instant placement feedback, they are easier and safer to place than ever! Extensive testing in real rock has convinced Metolius to design Power Cams to maximize holding power. Metolius achieves greater holding power by reducing the cam angle slightly so the cam lobes push out harder against the walls of the placement. They've also widened the faces of the cam lobes to get more grip and to spread the force of a fall over a larger area.The best all-around climbing cam is now significantly lighter and more versatile due to our new Direct Axle Technology (DAT). DAT reduces head-width thereby increasing placement options and user visibility. Our optimized cam angle focuses on holding power and the wide beefy cam lobes are designed for extra grip. Our Range Finder system tells you at a glance whether you have chosen the optimum sized unit. Super lightweight, strong and stable, Ultralight Power Cams make the ultimate foundation for any climbers rack!Features:Direct Axle Technology makes Ultralight Power Cams the lightest 4-cam units in the world. DAT allows for more placement options in shallow, narrow, or bottoming placements. DAT makes tricky placements easier due to better cam lobe visibility, especially in the small sizes. 13mm Dyneema slings are lighter and less bulky.Ranger Finder tells you at a glance if you've chosen the right size cam for the placement.Optimized cam angle for more outward force.Greater Holding Power!

From Backcountry.com:
"Using Direct Axle Technology, Metolius removed every unneeded scrap of material from the Ultralight TCU to make it as lightweight as possible while still maintaining the ultra-strong construction that Metolius is known for. The TCU's narrow head profile combined with the three-cam arrangement allows these cams to fit into very small pockets. Once they're in, the range finder tells you if your placement is good or not so good. Spectra slings lighten these cams even further. After all, your gear is suppose to help you go up, not hold you down."
From REI:
"Ultralight pro for free, alpine or aid routes--these versatile quad power cams feature Direct Axle Technology for lightweight performance. Direct Axle Technology allows greater placement options in shallow, narrow or bottoming rock features. Also makes tricky placements easier due to better cam lobe visibility, especially in the smaller sizes. New Ranger Finder markings eliminate guess work: Green Zone for go, Yellow Zone for caution or trade up sizes and Red Zone for stop! U-shaped body provides greater durability and better control during placement and retraction. Durable, flexible, stainless-steel cable body with long-wearing trigger slides are lightweight, strong and allow easy placement. Split-wire triggers with knurled trigger bars allow you to use one, two or three fingers--or even gloved hands. Features four wide CNC machined cams of super-durable 7075-T6 aluminum. Machined cam stops and radiused teeth increase cam durability and holding power; optimized cam angle applies more outward force. Lightweight Dyneema nylon slings are color-coded for quick, easy identification and less bulky than standard nylon slings."
