Here's what other sites are saying:

From Moosejaw:
"Omega Pacific ISO Cold Forged Jake Screw-Lok Carabiner (Spring 2008) To be honest, the ISO Cold Forged Jake Screw-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): 25 / .984 Major-Axis Strength: 23kN Gate Open Strength: 8kN Minor-Axis Strength: 10kN Weight (grams/ounces): 99 / 3.5 Length (mm/inch): 114.3 / 4.5 Width (mm/inch): 80.0 / 3.15"

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 screws closed for maximum security. Frame geometry minimizes rope wear and ensures that bent-gate carabiners hang straight when used in a quickdraw."

From EMS:
"A wide-mouthed, pear-shaped carabiner that offers exceptional clearance for belays and rappels. Unique side-swing gate is oriented at an offset angle for a 25 mm gate clearance. Large end can accommodate double ropes. Manual screw-lock gate; excellent choice over an auto-locking gate in mountaineering or winter use. Excellent biner for tube-style belay devices; shape allows for the use of a Munter hitch for redundancy."
