These are not on my rack

They had these on SAC for $4 a pop so I bought 4 of them. Good action, non-snag keylock design, large gate clearance. However, I am a fanatic when it comes to cutting weight, especially when leading, and these guys are HEAVY. It comes in a 39 g, compared to my Camp Nanos (23 g), and Metolius FS minis (25 g). I use these are general purpose biners, or just to store things.
Bottom line: Solid, well designed carabiner, but much too heavy for my taste.

39g, really? Did you weight them yourself? The site says 49g, which is the same as the Petzl Spirit, and this feels heavier than the spirit. If you're a weight fanatic, have the checked out the Petzl Ange? It's a keylock wiregate that weighs 28g. I think you might like it.
