Okay, but better BD options

These are adequate, but are outclassed by many other biners now available. The are light, but the lightness comes at the price of a tinny feel, particularly in the action of the screwgate. Note that they are also not keylock, which makes them prone to snagging on slings at crowded anchors. For a similar price from the same manufacturer, the BD Vaporlock is a better choice, as it is a keylock design and has a slightly stouter feel.
