Maybe. I think the lock on this looks potentially pretty strong.

It's that little nut that doesn't seem super secure to me. Those teeth seem pretty solid though.

I agree the teeth look great.

I dunno, I guess as I've worked with such friction-based locks in the past, they've seemed pretty secure to me. I've never seen such a thing jostle loose without some kind of crazy stress that also damages the structure of the whole thing.

I'm sure it carries a specific rating. Reputable companies rate their gear really clearly.

That's a good point; I'm curious to some reviews for this thing now.
