They are excellent for setting up a top-rope anchor as long as you have a friend with you to break it down when you're done. You won't want to try to get them out if you've placed them in the camming position. Should be fine if you use them like a regular nut.

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.
