Awesome in certain cases...
I love this biner and think is perfect for use as a block with an ATC-Guide or Reverso when belaying a second. Fairly compact and tiny, this also perfect for use as an anchor. I find it too small to use for a belay biner, but it definitely has its place when I go multi-pitch climbing. Pretty cheap and really well built, I recommend this product fully.
