Summary:
One of the best new hooks on the market. It definitely fills a niche that the other hooks missed. It's ultra stable on wide, flat shelves where a bigger hook would skate. It's always on my rack when I'm on big walls or putting up first ascents.

Customer Service:
Black Diamond is a class act, all the way around. As a bonus tip, you can often find some climbing shops that sell cosmetic seconds at a discount. Who cares if the paint is a little scratched? It's a hook...you're going to beat the hell out of it, take the money and buy more beer...err I mean gear.

Summary:
Good for all manner of flakes, from the thinnest on up. Has a nice wide bipod base that keeps it from swinging about. A must for any serious aid climber.
