Locking Biner that doesn't unlock

By Ranked #620 - Carabiners, Quickdraws, and Belay Devices September 30, 2009

I bought three of these at beginning of summer, and after several trips to the mountains I had one lock up on me. I couldn't unscrew the gate to get it open. I had to wrestle with the thing for like 5 minutes. It only had issues with one biner, but i don't think I'd buy any more. I was really happy with it until that happened.
