If you have to ask you should probably be climbing with somebody who already knows. That said, tri-cams are safe to set set anchors with in the right placements, but I prefer to use other pieces for anchors because tri-cams can get really set in when weighted.

They're gear. You can use them to lead a route to an anchor or set up a toprope anchor. Just make sure you know what you're doing.
