From Moosejaw:
"Omega Pacific ISO Cold Forged Jake Quik-Lok Carabiner (Fall 2009) To be honest, the ISO Cold Forged Jake Quik-Lok Carabiner by Omega Pacific is one of the coolest carabiners on the market and, for years, has set the standard for HMS carabiners. To start with, its shape orients the load, predictably, where we want it every time. Other belay carabiners can be loaded on the nose of the 'biner a very dangerous situation. The Jake eliminated this problem through a superior design. It always centers your belay/rappel device so that in double-rope rappels, neither strand of rope is pinched on the spine, ensuring a smooth and predictable rap'. The Jake is also equipped with a truly unique side-swing gate which provides you with greater gate clearance and ease of use. Available with Screw gate, Quik-Lok or the 3-Stage Quik-Lok locking mechanisms.Specs: Gate Opening (mm/inch): 24 / .945 Major-Axis Strength: 23kN Gate Open Strength: 8kN Minor-Axis Strength: 10kN Weight (grams/ounces): 105 / 3.7 Length (mm/inch): 114.3 / 4.5 Width (mm/inch): 80.0 / 3.15"

From REI:
"Unique side-swing gate provides great clearance, while the spring-loaded autolock offers easy single-handed manipulation. Jake's unique HMS shape centers the load to keep the rope from being pinched on the spine for smooth-running rappels and belays. ISO Cold Forge® process provides an extraordinary strength-to-weight ratio. Hooded gate offers smooth rope-bearing surface; Quik-Lok autolocking gate mechanism for fast, reliable locking. Anodized coating won't flake off, helps protect against corrosion and lets you sort and identify gear easily."

From GearX.com:
"The Omega Jake carabiner is the ultimate harness and belay HMS style `biner with an enormous gate opening and a newly designed side-swing gate."

From RockCreek:
"The Jake HMS is a cold forged beauty, featuring a side-swing gate that allows for a wider gate opening. ISO cold forged carabiner with the same good looks and strength of a "hot forged" but at an amazingly affordable price. Gate is Quick-Lok closed for maximum security. Frame geometry minimizes rope wear and ensures that bent-gate carabiners hang straight when used in a quickdraw."
