Quality 'Biner
As always, BD equipment is top-shelf. A great addition to my rack.

Smooth and easy
Great carabiner for gri gris and setting anchors! Quick fast and smooth operation so far (used for three trips). Seems like it will hold up to abuse for years as well!

RockLock Twistlock
I normally use them for my anchore system, they are durable and don't wear out quick with the rope.

Taiwan
I didn't look hard enough before I ordered. I didn't realize that they were made in Taiwan until I received them.

Killer product
Twist mechanism is easy to work but feels really secure. Lightweight, strong, reliable. Everything is to love!

Nice to have
I like having the extra security of the twist lock on my belay device. The motion is a bit tricky with one hand, but I'll get used to it.

Fast but has increased risk in some use cases
As a gym or TR belay carabiner it’s great for increasing efficiency and safety between laps. However, there is real risk in either the rope or a belay loop briefly rubbing the gate causing it to open. I have seen the gate open while 3 pitches up due to contact with the rope while pulling it for rappel. I would recommend this for gym or TR use but not for multi-pitch or alpine use where complex rope management and awkward belays are more common.

Excellent belay locker
Great belay locker, and nice action on the twistlock.

Easy to Use
My only gripe on this carabiner is that it is almost too easy to open. I ran the rope past the lock in the gym and was able to get it to open without touching it with my hands, but I was not able to do this to get the rope back out (thankfully). Super fast and easy to use.
