Reviewers praise how light and compact this locker is, with a smooth screw action they trust for building bolt, trad and rescue anchors, plus belaying and alpine climbing. Most like the small size, but a handful found it too small, mentioning a narrow gate opening and trouble fitting it on top anchors.

"Great, lightweight and solid carabiner. Action is very smooth and screw is confidence inspiring. There are no sharp edges to snag on gear like I've had with others in the past. Picture shows my black liteforge next to a blue hotforge for a size comparison"
"I love this locker for when I run into applications where I realize I don't need a full size locker. Less weight and bulk. Love the gray and purple color."
"I will definitely buy more."
"Not much to say asides that it looks rad and looks solid. I only use it for my keys. I know. Sorry."
"These are my go to carabiners"
"A great piece of kit for anchor building. Love how small and light they are. I wish they were just a little thinner but beggars can’t be choosers."
"Just what's needed to slim down my rack. Large enough to clip everything I've tried. Strong as full size. Now I can carry more lockers than ever."
"Light weight and sturdy."
"Was happy to find some smaller carabiners. Lightweight and perfect to use as tie in points for my chest harness"
"The surface treatment is very perfect. Like a work of art."
