"Somehow, better than others in it's class" 		          01/07/10
It looks just like any other non-HMS keylock locking carabiner, but for some reason, it just works better. I don't know if it's the low angle curve from the top of the spine to the nose, or the trustworthy spin lock we've all come to expect from Black Diamond, or what, but its just easier to clip in and out. Compared to an ultra-tech, its can hold and let loose more dyneema material, it can unhook from a bolt more freely. I know it's not really a big deal, if it locks and has 20+ Kn strength, it'll get the job done, but this is another great product from BD, and that's my review.

"Solid medium sized locker." 		          10/27/09
Big enough to be useful, but not to big. Key lock is the only way to go in my opinion, and the screw gate runs smooth even after much use.

"It puts in work" 		          09/15/09
You can never have enough locking biners! This one won't snag up on your rope or slings and stays put. Gets the job done and you know with BD's name stamped on it that it will always be there for ya...

"Great Locker!!!" 		          06/22/09
This is my favorite locker, by far! Its locking barrel easily screws open and closed, even one handed, and the keylock gate means that it won't get snagged on the ropes and chords as you're trying to fumble it into the anchor after a long pitch. I am replacing the lockers on my rack with these. One word of caution, these are a little small to allow the munter hitch to do its characteristic 'flip' but they are great for anything and everything else.

"Excellent biner!" 		          06/01/09
This biner is excellent. Smooth operation, and the key-gate is great! Not recommended as a belay biner (you'll want something much larger), but its perfect for any other situation that calls for a locking biner.

"sweet deal" 		          04/14/09
This carabiner has a great look, good action, and a snag-free keylock gate. I'm using them on my sport-route anchors.

"Small and AMAZING!" 		          03/26/09
This Carabiner is smaller than average. Although it is smaller it still locks really well and is super strong! Great for situations where a smaller carabiner is desired.

"Great" 		          11/11/08
A really nice carabiner. Smooth gate action and functional D shape. Not a bad price either, though I do have other locking biners that were cheaper that are just as nice.

"Can't Beat It" 		          09/25/08
I've got about a dozen of these and I love em. from rigging a slackline to a cordalette to the bolt side of my daisy chain I use em for all sorts of things and they work great. I've used Petzl lockers too and there's no significant difference so it's just if you like the color more or you can find a better price on one. I mean a locking carabiner does the job no matter which company makes it so it just depends on what you like
