Nice nose, but smoothless action

By Ranked #134 - Carabiners, Quickdraws, and Belay Devices May 23, 2007

I'd seen these biners in one of the climbing rags and liked the idea. Not only are these biners notchless, like the Black Diamond positron or the petzl spirit, but the nose itself is a solid smooth bar. Indeed it is very easy to clean these biners from bolts, especially useful on overhanging sport routes when you have to all but wrestle standard biners. However, these biners feel really odd in your hands, and the gate action is rough. I only bought the straight gate, as I like wires for the clip end of draws.
