Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I've had these for a few years and for the most part I really like them. I've only had one issue: a couple months ago I hung these draws on a route which my friend was TRing. He fell and in trying to get back on the climb he grabbed for one of these draws (which was hanging unclipped on a bolt), but because he was swinging his hand slipped and he got a gash on his palm from the sharp notchless gate. The cut was deep enough that he lost a few days of climbing.
It's a pretty unlikely sequence of events so I still like and use these draws, but will look for a less sharp point when it's time to replace them.
