"if you need a 'biner for your keys that can also be used to tow a truck, this is for you" 03/13/13
So call it overkill, but I got this for my keys. Then i saw a force rating of 23 kN (Thats 5170 lbf for those of us who like converting units) believe it or not, during the snowpocalypse of 2013 i actually used a climbing rope and a subaru and this carabiner to pull a ford escape out of a snowdrift.
"Nice Carabiner!" 01/04/13
I wasn't expecting this to be that good. But when the East Lansing store ran out of the BD Positrons I went this this guy. The screwgate is smooth as heck and the opening action is quick. It's a carabiner so there's not much you can say but this is quality.
"Cute and Small - Does the job" 09/19/12
I use this for my belay device. It's a great color and is pretty light. I like the shape and the size. It's small, some people like that, some don't. I'm a small person, so it doesn't matter to much to me. The only complaint I have is that the gate got stuck closed once, I just need to check it every now and then for loose dirt.
"A good locking biner that is great for the price." 03/18/12
A standard locking carabiner that is great for anchor building or whatever you need it for. It is a pretty small and difficult to belay from but other than that it is working great!
"User Endurance, Dependable, Highly Recommend!" 01/26/12
Never had any issues of it breaking, cracking, or anything that would make some one doubt. The color has worn off where the rope rubs against it, but no structural damage. Easy to use. Never had the lock get stuck. Highly Recommend!
"Well... It works" 01/15/12
I have used this biner on multiple climbs. It works okay as a belay biner but that's about it. Its got a really small gate clearance which can complicate matters a lot while climbing. Its pretty much just a belay carabiner because of its size and locking sluggishness. And of course its size can make it really hard to hook in even just for belaying. In my experience however it's size doesn't seam to be too much of a problem with an ATC belay device. So depending on your gear it might work for you, or it might not.
"Great carabiner, mediocre belay carabiner" 11/23/11
I bought this to use as a belay carabiner, and it works fine, but it's really too small for that. I've found it's difficult to open and close the biner with my belay loop at the bottom of the biner. The belay loop inhibits the carabiner from being opened, making it hard to clip/unclip rope from belay device. Other than that, it's very nice. Keylock is great (as with any keylock).
"There are better..." 11/22/11
I got a couple of these to act as belaying biners. They function well enough (not my least favorite screwgate), but there are a couple things that Metolius could improve upon.For one, these take about a year and a half (not counting holidays) to lock. And although it has a nice feel in your hand when clipping, the gate opening isn't that big. Lastly, it's a little on the small side for a belay biner (hard to belay with a munter).If you're looking for a belay biner, go for the BD rocklock or the Petzl attache. Cost is about the same, and they both have a wider gate opening and minor axis for nice rope play when belaying. And they'll spare you the 50 turns it takes to lock one of these.
"Great Product" 11/02/11
This carabiner is well made and locks smoothly. I trust this product to work as it appears to be ov excellent workmanship. The textured lock will make it easier to lock the carabiner if yor hands are sweaty or if you are ice climbing.Worth it.
"Solid all around biner for anyone to use." 10/18/11
This carabiner has a great size if you aren't wanting anything huge. I have used it with an atc and I particularly like it as a locker on my slings as an anchor or just cleaning a route. Smooth spring with easy-to-grip screw lock. I'm a huge fan of the colors too for those that care about looking good. For the price, a great product and it isn't near as heavy as it looks.
