Full Reviews
The three pack is a good deal, they work good for setting up anchors. There are way better biners in the world. I dont like how the screwgate rattles around, it seems like it could rattle loose eventually. If overtightened the screwgate can feel impossible to undo. They wear prematurely because dirt and dust gets into the screw mechanism. Overall ok.

I picked up a few of these to see how I like them. They have their specific uses for me. Mostly just my personal anchor and atc. But the Black Diamond Mini Pearabiner Screwgate have become my go-to really. I recommend trying them if you are curious, but again I like the Mini Pearabiner more for something more versatile.

I prefer the CAMP USA Orbit Locking Carabiner in terms of feel and quality but I have 3 of these and they all hold up pretty well. My gym belay one is starting to wear down after about a year but the other two have been used indoors and outdoors and still look great.

Good sturdy carabiner. I use it when I am belaying someone and I feel it does the trick safely.

Light, strong, and ergonomically designed. I use them for my anchor kit, but they're super versatile and could be used in a wide variety of scenarios. I will say they aren't ideal for belaying from the top.

These lockers are awesome. With the thinner profile they are perfect for those occasional anchor bolts with a bulge of rock that makes getting full rounded carabiners through hard or impossible as well as strong enough to withstand the damage.

This carabeiners is not very heavy which is quite nice, Screwing is clean when first uswed but wil;l later become a little squeky. I hva eused this carabeiner for almost any task its not bad for a belaying carabiner. Its perfect for an anchor carabiner and almost everything else you can think of. The only downside it the screwing will become worse over time with use but that it

I have multiple BD locking biners and they're all great. Super smooth and I like the screw lock over the twist because it's way less likely to get jammed. No complaints!

I have about 6 of these carabiners in my rack and I beat the hell out of them. I can always trust them, and never have had any issues. Simple, (relatively) cheap, and there’s always a good use for em.

Just a great piece of gear, smaller and more lightweight than the rock lock, and technically strong too. honestly my favourite carabiner. Also great for your Keys.
