If this carabiner wasn't a screw lock, was a wire gate, and had a bigger basket, doesn't it seem like it would make a decent racking biner for ice screws?
The inner wire gate thingie would keep it from shifting around on your harness gear loop, keeping it in the proper orientation. Seems like you wouldn't need a rubber band to keep it in place, and it would be stronger and more durable than the plastic ice clippers currently on the market.
