I received some of these kids as gifts almost 2 years ago and they work great. I use them on my pack for hiking, camping, and everyday use for affixing my nalgene to my work…

I was given a couple of these awhile back and used one of them for a keychain and another for clipping assorted items to my climbing pack. Usually I get a "nice biner" at the…

I usually buy these carabiners when I need some for climbing anchors. They are very cheap for strong, lockable carabiners. They only thing wrong with them is they look boring…

this locking oval biner is a good all around value. Its not the lightest, but it is very strong, and at a great price! Great for setting up personal anchors or top rope anch…

Like you have read in other reviews, these quickdraws are really light therefore maximizing your ability to climb comfortably and rapidly. One great feature is the little dip…

Ok. First off... They are light as heck. I had all 15 of them on my harness the other day for a 31m route and they didn't weigh me down. The gates are just right for clipping…

Petzl is always a reliable brand, although sometimes a bit more spendy, you get what you pay for. When its your life on the line, dont skimp on quality. And these are quality.…

I was at first a bit skeptical about the pin style gate on this... but then it came time to jump on the wall and WOW. These are by far the best and highest quality draws I hav…

If you are looking for a quality and lightweight, STOP READING, and purchase this item. Used them several times and they are great! Would recommend this to everyone. Buy 'em,…

I got this six pack as my first pack of quick draws, and I'm extremely happy with them. I find that the wire gates are way easier to clip than the bent gates, and I haven't h…

I love this Biner. I think its awesome that BD has pushed the envelope on Biner technology. ups is the auto locking mechanism. Many other auto locking Biners will jam if they…

I can't belay with anything else. I love the way the magnets work and the gridlock is great.…

This carabiner is a VERY nice locking one. It has the tri-action lock so you can trust that it won't open on its own. A very nice carabiner.…

I use this with my grigri and it is awesome. i keeps the grigri straight and reduces the risks of cross loading much more than the petzl william (still a great carabiner) that…

Want cheap, light, color coded racking biners then get some of these. Not too heavy, not too small, and are wiregate. Can't get better at this price point. Now if you want a s…

I dont really use it for the hardcore climbing (yet). I know i will when i get going, but for now i use it for my ENO Hammock instead of the heavy steel ones they give you.…

You can't beat these quickdraws for the money. They clip great and come in two different lengths, so what's not to love. I use the shorter draws when I'm feeling stable on a r…

I bought a set of five of these for basic sport climbing and have been thoroughly impressed. For the price, you definitely cannot beat them. The gates are a little hard to ope…

These carabiners are okay for racking, but just okay. They're really small compared to other wiregate carabiners. Because they're so small, I find them hard to clip and manipu…

Pros: Light weight, color coded. Cons: Nose hook tends to snag. To small for most applications. All-in-all good beiners for multi purpose.…

I'm buying this to replace on one of my spirit quickdraws that fell but I'm also planning on using it on a daisy as a quick lock. I love the fact that there is no "hole" on th…

Seriously, there are two kinds of people in climbing. Those that like twist-lock gated carabiners and those that like screw gate carabiners. The Petzl William is a gigantic ca…

Auto lock biners are the best! This Petzl Triact-Lock carabiner also comes in a variety of colors, which keeps your gear distinguished from the pack. Excellent price for a rel…

Bought a couple of these biners for top roping. Locking mechanisms works great and release when desired; still put them opposing, but haven't had an issue yet.…

This is a nice, light 'biner. I used to to lock into anchors at the Red, and it kept out of my way until I needed it, and was secure when I relied on it.…

This is my go to non-locking carabiner for everything - ice climbing, alpine quickdraws, even my trad rack as a ton of these. It's lightweight, full size, doesn't freeze up an…
