Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"The Omega Pacific Jake Keylock Carabiner's snag-free design reduces cluster-snarls at belays, unless you like that kind of thing. By eliminating the hook in the Jake Carabiner's nose, Omega Pacific created a smooth-operating belay 'biner that's sure to become your favorite. This unique carabiner also has an offset-gate to increase clearance, so you can squeeze in whatever you need without worry."

From Moosejaw:

From REI:
"This 'biner's screwgate locking mechanism provides security against accidental opening. Jake's unique 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. Anodized coating won't flake off, helps protect against corrosion and lets you sort and identify gear easily."

From Ramsey Outdoor:
"To be honest, the Jake 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."
