Boa

I belay using a Munter's hitch. The Boa is roomy enough to belay even with thick double ropes. The ruond upper corner means that the hitch nevver blocks as it can in smaller carabiners but also in equally large carabiners with a more pointy upper corner.

The upper end of the opening is round and slim - very good for prying into some complicated rope-knot-set-up without damagin the rope. And similarly to take out again without it getting stuck as a fishing hook.

Handles nicely with gloves and has space for complicated riggins. Still, it is fairly slim and does not take up too much space on a rack.

Even after 4 rather intense years of belaying, The gate and screw work perfect.

A nice big auto locker I use for belaying. Big easy to use auto locking gate. Sturdy aluminum construction. Not like the petzel which is all plastic with a plastic button locking device, what the hell is Wal mart carrying biners now? Anyway, not this bad boy very good build quality, easy to use gate that can be opened with one hand.
