Went wrong with a trango...
By kevinVerified Reviewer from roaming on 2/23/2010

Bottom Line:

Comments about Trango Classic Wire Gate Carabiner:

Intended to use product for shoulder length slings and met. tcu's. I bought 6, and the tooth on the gate is VERY pronounced on 3 of the 6. So much so that it snags the rope occasionally. The tooth is also very sharp, so this is a serious safety concern. Went back to the valley and my partner took off each trango from my rack and replaced with BD wire gates.
