I just got it and haven't gotten a chance to test it thoroughly, but I can definitely say worth it. Right out of the box, I could tell it was a good buy. I bought it to use for tree climbing, and after putting my weight on it with a good rope, it didn't budge. The quick snap auto-lock is an ingenious design, and it won't lock too soon to keep it from closing all the way. Much better than a standard screw lock. As I said, I haven't gotten to test it thoroughly (ie: my life and my buddy's life depending on it), but I can definitely say worth the money if you need a good climbing carabiner, or even just a carabiner in general.
