Safety is the primary focus of the Element Smart HMS carabiner from Mammut. A cleverly devised safety gate feature prevents accidental opening – the gate must be in the open position in order to operate the screwlock mechanism. In addition, the safety gate prevents twisting and accidental loading of the carabiner’s minor axis.
Twistlock feature that can only be operated when the safety gate is open, which in turn prevents any accidental opening of the carabiner.
Eliminates twisting in the belay loop of the climbing harness.
Avoids disadvantageous loads on the minor axis of the carabiner.

Positive Reviews:
This biner is great for belaying! It has a very easy-to-use auto-locking feature, as well as a swing gate that keeps it from crossloading during use. Though I have disliked a lot of auto-lockers in the past (because of being too sticky and hard to open), this one is great; it has a very smooth action and doesn't snap closed too aggressively. If you're looking for an awesome belay biner, this is it!
Yep--I got this biner for belaying. And it's perfect for that. I hated having to constantly check my belay device biner for crossloading, etc... and now that I have this biner, I never have to. All moving parts have smooth action, and the entire unit has a very high-quality feel. Plus, it's auto-locking, so you can't forget to close it.
