Re: Metal sleeve Am\'D Ball Lock!
Two Scoops,
Fresco only got them in a few weeks ago. They're too new to have on the website. Rob's easy to get along with.
Is there anything that you need to know about the biners? They cost between $15-$20, I'm not sure exactly because I didn't even open the bill.

Re: Metal sleeve Am\'D Ball Lock!
You know I am just teasing. I really like idea of having a metal gate. I was a happy with a biner having a plastic gate.
Do you seriously think a biner could cost as little as $15 dollars? That's like thinking you can get an ice cream cone for a nickel. I'm betting they are at least $22 dollars. Man I can remember when a throw ball from fresco was close to $30....wow! I'm glad to see the price came down on that. There had to be more proffit on that then a those pizza's Master Blaster been eating.

Those $30 bags were probably Harrison Rockets. At the time they were being shipped from New Zealand so duty gets spendy too. They are worth the price.

Re: Metal sleeve Am\'D Ball Lock!
I've been using the new biner for a month or so now. It works well, a big improvement over the old design. I do think ball locks are less prone to inadvertant gate opening than other biners. Bishop may still be offering the low price....
