great for the price
By yahoo from Salt lake, ut. on 6/28/2006
Pros:
Simple, Scratch resistant
Cons:
Hard to open
Best Uses:
Outdoor climbing

Comments about Wild Country Forged Friends:

You cant beat forged friends for the price. Buy sizes 2.5 and up to double up on. You dont want any sizes smaller than that. A bit awkward to place at first but youll get used to it.

My new friend stiffed me!
By hosh Verified Buyer from Alaska on 2/2/2006
Pros:
Compact, Lightweight, Tough, inexpensive
Cons:
Awkward triger wires
Best Uses:
Bail anchors, Vertical cracks

Comments about Wild Country Forged Friends:

I just got them to double up on sizes I already have in C4's and Power Cams. They're just what I expected them to be; cheap, functional, light. I'd be way more willing to leave one of these fixed as a bail anchor than a C4 (but wouldn't you rather just leave a nut or a hex? Yes I would...) If you've already got a lot of cams and are looking for a cheap way to double (or triple) up, then these will get the job done. If you're just starting out, they're fine cams, but I'd suggest you get something a little more versatile. \n\nI loved the weight, the price, and the nice colors. I hated the triger wire being where it was and how it rubs against my fingers. Seriously. It drives me nuts. \n\nI hear that you get bonus "retro" points for leading with these though, any one out able to confirm this? Also, I've placed 1st generation forged friends. You want long lasting cams? These cams don't quit.
