Ball Lock is slick!

By Ranked #131 - Carabiners, Quickdraws, and Belay Devices November 24, 2008

The Ball Lock is a nice little invention. The pic here on the site makes the lock barrel look plastic but it is aluminum. A quick glance and as long as you see green you know it's locked. Nice smooth one handed operation too. I used a piece of rope and tangled it around the gate every which way I could but I could not get the rope to move the lock. Time will tell but I don't see any way this could come open accidentally.
