Great for clipping on your gear or other light duty
This carabiner is very cool looking and very sturdy. You can use it to hang your hammock, clip gear to your climbing harness, hang stuff around your campsite, and much more. They're locking so you don't have to worry about accidentally losing anything. They're slightly larger than carabiners you might find at the hardware or camping store and are definitely a lot tougher and more solid.What they are NOT for is supporting a human above a great chasm, cliffs, mountains, trees, or really anywhere. NOT FOR CLIMBING. Those exact words are stamped right on the carabiner, so there's no excuses. These biners are strong and sturdy - far beyond some dollar-bin biner, but they're not going to stop a full grown human from falling. A climbing carabiner is twice generally the size and thickness of this one.

So great for so many tasks
Got these in the mail today, and I'm already in love with them. They are lightweight as they are advertised, but they are quite sturdy none the less. also, as in the instructions they should not be used for anything that is going to pull or tug on them with sudden force. What I've found tonight is that they are very sturdy so long as there are no sudden jerks or sudden force. This makes them perfect for tasks around the garage or in the storage shed or for sportsman and women. I also found that if you double them up it obviously doubles the strength. These are going to be great for magnet fishing and other tasks in which great sudden force is not a factor. And one final thing .... The craftsmanship is perfect.

Nice, strong, and light. Good buy, but right away the spring broke on one of them (the rest are fine).
The good:- they're fairly light (0.75oz)- despite their weight they feel like they'd handle a ton of weight- the locking cylinder is pretty easy to turn, and doesn't get in the wayThe bad:- I used four of these so far, and the spring broke on one of them within the first couple weeks. It's not really a safety issue -- it still holds weight, and the locking cylinder still holds it shut, it's just annoying that that one doesn't really work without locking it anymore. The others are still going strong.In all these are nice though and it was a good deal. As long as none of the others break I'd still buy these again.

Good casual use device
First? These are NOT rated for climbing. What you can use them for is simply attaching gear to one's belt, pack, pouch, or other strap with the idea that it will be there when you need it. The locking device keeps the carabiner secure and prevents accidental opening and risk losing your gear. The color selection gives the user the option to color-code your gear as needed. The particular design keeps the carabiner light weight and functional. These carabiners are really nice to have in campsite situations and have a number of uses.

Completely impervious to weathering
I originally bought these for backpack camping. When I got home I needed to do some work on my roof before a hurricane hit. I used this particular one that you see in the photo to attach a piece of rope around the perimeter of the top of my roof to act as an emergency lifeline in case I slipped. Being that I am not super comfortable with heights I left the carabiner where it was after boarding up the upstairs windows for nearly a year. I live in Florida so the rope and carabiner were subject to high winds, rain a lot of sun and humidity. Just recently my dad was up on the roof repairing some leaks and took the carabiner and rope off. Yes I know it's made of aircraft aluminum but the carabiner still looks brand new. There are absolutely no signs of weathering and the threads and spring mechanism work perfectly. If I needed to I would definitely buy these again but I have a feeling they're going to last forever so I'm probably not going to need to. As a word of warning they're definitely not recommended to use the way I did on my roof so don't do that but the point is I'm very impressed with how they have held up.

Inexpensive and fit for light use
The gates are shaky but these are only intended for light duty. I got them to hang camp kitchen and other camp gear so a bit large for some of that but gives you options.They claim 150 lbs limit. I haven’t tested but they feel reasonably sturdy. Just not a big fan of the entire latching mechanism. Takes a LOT of turns to lock it down.

Great for shower Curtains
I got frustrated with my shower hooks coming off or my curtain not staying on and I could not find a decent set of shower hooks that would stay on.So I bought these aluminum locking camping d-rings. they were 10 dollars for 9- I got 2 sets. Unlike curtains, these lock. They are aluminum, so they do not rust. They are not expensive (a bit more) compared to curtain hooks.If you are going to try this, make sure your bar can fit through them. I had to remove the bar from the wall, slide them on, and finagle the curtain on. It was worth the trouble. I hate curtain hooks, and these solved all the problems they cause.Depending on your needs, you may want to sand down the d-rings if they don't fit. Mine did exactly, and I loved that they stay in place instead of sliding across the bar constantlyWhen the curtain goes bad, I will just throw it out (It's only less than 10 dollars and you need one like once every 2 years), get a new one, and reuse these hooks
