Offset gate is cool idea; needs keylock gate

I like this biner, though it's no longer my primary belay biner. The offset gate is a cool and innovative idea, though in reality, I have never actually needed the extra clearance. But it certainly doesn't hurt, and I'm sure there are situations that I haven't experienced where the extra clearance would be a godsend. I would've given this carabiner a 5 star rating if it had a keylock gate (like the ones found on many Petzl and BD biners).
