Nite Ize tie-down carabiner, November 15, 2008
I have a large Rubermaid storage box in the back of my SUV. It was always sliding around during turns and sporty driving. I already had some polypropylene rope and with just two of these carabiners, I am able to securely tie-down the box quickly. And, I can easily remove the tie-downs to get in the box and re-secure it just as easily. Great product!

I keep this clipped onto my messenger bag all the time and it's very handy at holding things or tying things down quickly. Not meant for climbing or anything over 100+ pounds, but it serves its purpose well.

The carabiners seem sturdy enough, as long as you are attentive to the load limits, and don't put undue stress on the actual clips. The clips are not meant to bear any load, but to keep things from popping out before you tighten the lines.
I got four of these, and clipped one to each corner of a 7'6" x 9'6" tarp. Then I took four, 15' lengths of paracord and tied a bowline hitch on one end of each one. Throw in two aluminum tent stakes, and you have a quick shelter that you can pitch between two trees in about 60 seconds at a total cost of about $20 (if you buy everything locally). I use it over a hammock, and it's great (see customer image).
These are gimmicky, but they also work very well.

UPDATE: 8/23/11
After using these and the regular Figure 9's for a while, I came to the conclusion that the carabiners are the way to go. The ability to just clip them onto an anchor point eliminates the need to estimate the correct placement of the regular Figure 9 on the line. You can also always use the carabiners in the same way as the normal ones, but not the other way around. They're a better deal... I upgraded them from four to five stars.
