DMM Shadow Screwgate
The DMM Shadow Screwgate lives up to its name - an extremely lightweight locking carabiner you won't even notice is there. Slightly bigger than its sister, the Phantom, the DMM Shadow Screwgate features an I-Beam construction and a simple screwgate locking system to save as many grams as possible, but not too many that strength or handling is compromised. Extremely lightweight, the DMM Shadow Screwgate comes in a larger size to facilitate handling, and is ideal for the fast and light climber or mountaineer seeking to shed every gram possible on their ascents.

Lightweight locking 'biner for everything from trad to winter climbing
Keylock nose prevents snagging on clips and ropes
Strong and light I-Beam construction sheds weight whilst increasing strength
I have two of these and use them predominately for cleaning sport anchors.
While small and light, the beaner is still large enough that it's comfortable to work with, without being a nuisance on your harness.
The locking mechanisms does feel a little flimsy but have not given me any reason to worry.
I bought two different colours and find that having colour coordinated beaners makes keeping track of everything a little easier when cleaning an anchor.
Overall they're light and get the job done.
I've got several other DMM products and always been happy with them. It's a really nice locking carabiner!
One of the best locking 'biner of the market! Why? Easy, it's no big, is not small, it has the right size to clip in a bolt, or multi-pitch at belay station. And really strong! (of course, is DMM)...
It's small (better because not so heavy ) and when close looks a bit like the eye is open...
Best carabiners I have used. Great feel, smooth action.
