“Unusable”

By K_ClimberVerified Purchaser from NH on 02/06/2009
Cons:
Smaller than expected, Unsafe
Describe Yourself:
Avid Climber
Sizing:
Feels full size too small
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
“This carabiner is rather small for a "jumbo" model. It's smaller than a BD Rocklock or Petzl William. It's just a medium sized HMS locker. The real problem is that there is a dangerous flaw in the auto "locking" sleeve. This carabiner doesn't lock securely at all; it's locking mechanism is completely ineffective and unsafe. It is very easy to push the gate open with a light side load from a finger. I wouldn't trust it at all for use as locker -- in which case it is just a rediculously heavy non-locker. Don't buy this item; buy one of the other Simond lockers available. All of the screwgates function well.”
