Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"Using Direct Axle Technology, Metolius removed every unneeded scrap of material from the Ultralight Power Cam to make it as lightweight as possible, while maintaining the ultra-strong construction that Metolius is known for. Urban Climber was so impressed with these cams that it bestowed the Hotness Award. The Ultralight Power's narrow head profile allows these cams to fit into smaller pockets than previous models, and the range finder (sizes 2-8) 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 Oregon Mountain Community:
"An all-around workhorse, the Metolius Power Cam is 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 Range Finder feature giving you instant placement feedback, they are easier and safer to place than ever! Extensive testing in real rock has convinced us that Power Cams maximize holding power. They achieve 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. 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. 13 mm 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! Wider cam faces for more grip U-shaped body for greater durability & unparalleled control during placement and retraction Machined cam stops Color-coded sewn slings and tubing CNC machined for much greater precision than stamped or extruded cams 7075 T-6 aluminum (sizes 00-6) 6061 T-6 aluminum (sizes 7-8) CE/UIAA certified"

"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 our new Range Finder feature (sizes #2 and up) giving you instant placement feedback, they are easier and safer to place than ever! Extensive testing in real rock has convinced us to design Power Cams to maximize holding power.
