Not worth it.

The screw gate seizes when locked down. I gave it one star because that's the only thing that this piece of gear needs to do well (besides catch a fall, and if it couldn't do that, it wouldn't be sold). When locked all the way, it resists the same amount (for a moment) whether you're unscrewing it or really tightening it down, making it difficult to remember which way is which. I have lots of other lockers, and this is the only one with that issue. I've been using it in concert with my Metolius Personal Anchor System (came as a set), and I'm probably going to leave this 'biner at home from now on. Its just frustrating.
