I really like these 'biners. They have a nice big opening for clipping to pro, or to rope, or to some gear that you need secured to your pack. They are light weight, and while not the lightest, for me they are the most useful, since I have bigger hands. They fit and just work better for me. The strength on these is higher than the Oz., which a friend uses, and that gives me that added confidence in my gear to push harder.
