Good/Great biner

These are great for slings and such, I would like them better if they had the KEY LOCK system that BD has available on other carabiners, but for the price you just cant complain.

Unless, of course, you meant that they should offer a keylock oval in general. I'd agree with that (probably preferable for aid climbing).

I agree that they're good biners, but it's not really possible to make a keylock wiregate.
