Sturdy, with a good closing action. This is the second of this style I have and it gives the impression of being able to take a lot of load while staying closed. I would trust this with my weight if my weight were applied at an angle (e.g., a harness on a steep pitch roof), though I would be wary of it taking my full weight directly. I have no reason to believe it will fail, just the fear that it might.My fears are not enough to mark it down, so it gets five stars.

While I don't have the tools required to put this through any scientific testing, it is of the quality I would expect when using a carabiner for demanding applications. Its well made. Locks well and feels sturdy. It's not the cheapest and far from the most expensive, but it seems reasonably priced for what you get. I'll update this in the future if I have some sort of catastrophic failure from it.

90 degree twist open is easy to operate with one hand, but the gate locking mechanism gets jammed up easily. So I have to fight it a little to open it fully. Great for hiking or camping. I don't intend to rock climb with this, as it's too heavy for a climbing carabiner. Great that it's CE rated and 30KN capacity.

This carabiner is a brute. Heavy and strong, with a gate lock mechanism that definitely prevents accidental openings. The sleeve lock rotates into the closed position as soon as the gate snaps back. The carabiner is large, at about 4.25-inches tall and 0.35-inches in frame thickness. The carabiner weight is 6.00-ounces. I cannot attest to the advertised longitudinal strength rating of 6,500-pounds, but considering its observed built quality, I wouldn't doubt it.

I don't climb or rappel any more, but I still needed a climbing-grade carabiner for rigging ropes when cutting and trimming trees. This one will do the job. It's certainly sturdy enough. While I'm more accustomed to old style lock mechanisms, I like the lock on this carabiner. A 90-degree twist opens the locking gate, easily done with one hand.Be cautious when using a carabiner for any load-bearing application. Many of the items available today are more decorative than functional. They might be fine for a keychain or clipping the dog's leash to a tree, but check the load rating. I trust this one.

I have use carabiners to carry items for outdoor activities. I have always had a worry that they will accidentally open, and my stuff will empty out all over the trail. This one is different. Its closing mechanism is very secure, and definitely not going to surprise me in any way. It is big, which may make it less useful for some occasions. But when I want to know for sure that my equipment is secure, this is the one.

Note: I have no ability, and no real desire, to test this in a rigorous way.This carabiner is marked CE0082 and EN362-2004b. It also has a stamp for 30kN which is NOT the 262-2004b standard which specifies a major axis (along the length of the carabiner) breaking force of 15kN with the gate closed and unlocked, or 20kN with the gate closed and locked, and a minor axis (side to side, aka "wrong way") of 7kN. So, maybe it's over strength, maybe it's just people slapping numbers on a product. I know nothing about the brand or who made it and it's hard to trust generic products when it comes to safety.That said, it's a sturdy steel carabiner with a self locking gate. The gate has a cross pin that hooks in properly so it should be locking up somewhat securely. The gate locking mechanism gets jammed up pretty easily meaning if you are trying to use it one handed you may not be able to open it fully without some fiddling.Would I use it for hoisting reasonably heavy (500lbs) loads? Yeah, though I wouldn't want to stand under that load. Would I use it to hang a tire swing from a backyard tree, or a hammock? Yep, provided that it wasn't more than a few feet off the ground. Hammocks can exert a surprising amount of force. Would I use it as a fidget toy? Honestly, the gate latch snagging makes it a little less satisfying for that application. Hang a kayak in the garage? Yeah, assuming the kayak isn't 500lbs.Why 3 stars? A combination of the mechanism getting jammed up, the feel, and the fact that I can't trust it to be used the way it claims it can be used. It's marked as meeting standards that would make it acceptable for safety-critical jobs, but I personally don't trust it to be used that way.

For us, a carabiner is probably the greatest tool/accessory to take camping or hiking.This carabiner is auto locking via a spring on the gate and it works well.We will be using this carabiner for hanging bear canisters, for stringing hammocks, and for carrying water bottles. There's really tons of way to use a good carabiner while in the outdoors.My only note is that due to the autolocking gate, I need both hands to open the carabiner.The carabiner seems very well made and very robust.
