Product Description
The Positron Screwgate carabiners by Black Diamond are multifunctional and lightweight with a classic keylock closure and a deep basket to reduce fumbly clips. They have an integrated screwgate sleeve and a non-snagging nose, so they’re a cinch to clip Read More
Great carabiners, but I've found the 3-pack for cheaper a couple places..

and they're only $10.95 each on Amazon, so if you only actually need 2 for cleaning / making an anchor you're better off buying individually anyway.
Personally not a fan of these caribeaners, I've found that the gate can get stuck which is real frustrating when you're trying to clean a climb or teach someone else how to set up anchor.
I'm glad to see Massdrop listing climbing gear recently!
These locking biners are pretty good, and it's nice to be able to get them in a 3-pack since that's about all you need for sport climbing. I use 2 of them to go in direct to the anchors and the third for an autoblock when rappelling.
Some of the anodizing has been worn off from rubbing against the rock, but they're holding up fine. Not the lightest weight, but not bad. The basket isn't very big, so they wouldn't be ideal for a master point. Also, I think they're a pain to get into/out of a gri gri, but you may have better luck.
All in all, I would buy them again if I needed locking biners, but not from here. The 3-pack goes on sale frequently for $20 dollars on most outdoor websites. The shipping will be much faster too.
ATF212Agree on the average quality and ok for the price. The local climbing gym has them for a couple of dollars more, and after Massdrop shipping, only saves 24 cents total to order from here. Certainly not worth the wait and price to order through this method at this time at $25 per 3 pack.
