A good, basic carabiner.
Pros
- Price
- Large enought for trad
- Light enough for sport
- Good for general use
- Good gate action
Cons
- For pure sport, I would go lighter.
I think of these as a lighter replacement for my old standard ovals or Ds, primarily for long slings. These have a good feel. A good all purpose carabiner.

This is my standard carabiner on my rack because it has a great feel and an excellent gate opening. The feel of the carabiner in hand is good for intuitive clipping which I prefer because I don't want to spend more time than I need to put in my protection.
