No one said that. But nothing like a bit of overly emotive language to stir the pot ;)

Wouldn't be sure about those without testing them. The BD Light Ds and Ovals are generally suitable (if the pin inserts don't crack). I use my old Kong biners (like the newer Kong Guides) as my Buffalo set. I carry a few suitable draws just in case.

There are biners out there, but they are often the dinosaurs of the range available.
