Weighing only 45 grams, the Black Diamond HotWire Carabiner is one of the lightest carabiners available, a feature that is well-appreciated among climbers who often carry a good amount of climbing tools and devices. This weight is possible due to the combination of the simplified wire gate design and the aluminum alloy out of which [...]
Constructed with the ISO cold forging process, the Omega Pacific Standard Lock D Carabiner is a lightweight but strong locking carabiner. Locking carabiners in general offer more security because they eliminate the possibility of accidental openings if slammed into branches or caught in a rope. The Omega Pacific Standard improves on this by locking to [...]
The side-swing gate of the Omega Pacific Jake Quik-Lok causes it to stand out among other carabiners. This unique design results in a large gate opening, approximately 24 mm, that makes loading quicker and easier. The locking mechanism consists of a spring that automatically and effectively shuts the gate. This allows a single-handed operation. The [...]
If you like to go climbing even in winter you may want to use wiregate carabiners rather than the solid gate types as the former are less prone to having their gates iced shut. A good choice would be the Omega Pacific Doval Wiregate Carabiner. The Doval Wiregate is an extremely lightweight carabiner, weighing in [...]
The screwgate locking mechanism of the Pacific Jake HMS guarantees against the accidental opening of the carabiner thus providing added security. The ‘biner’s shape has been designed in a way that loads are centered thus keeping the rope from getting pinched on the spine, and are kept away from the nose avoiding a potentially dangerous [...]
The I-Beam Boa Locksafe is a large pear-shaped auto-locking carabiner. Perhaps its best feature is its combination of great strength, minimal weight, and large capacity. Its hot-forged I-Beam construction guarantees both strength and light weight. Its pear shape allows it to accommodate a number of attachments including webbing, ropes, slings, and other climbing gear. It [...]
The Mammut Bionic HMS is a locking carabiner that uses beam technology, a hot forge method with excellent precision, which results to a lightweight yet strong carabiner with an excellent breaking load capacity. Its large arc radius makes it look like a pear. This allows it to accommodate large ropes and other technical configurations. They [...]
The 25-mm gate clearance of the Camp USA HMS Compact Screw Gate Carabiner makes the clipping of ropes, tools, or any other gear you might need on your climb easy. Its locking system helps avoid rope or ribbon entanglements when clipping or unclipping. And because it is a locking carabiner, you are assured that it [...]
The DMM Revolver is a non-locking carabiner that incorporates a new concept in addressing rope friction and drag. This comes in the form of a 5.5 mm radius roller incorporated at its basket end. The roller is made of 7075 aluminum alloy which guarantees its good fatigue strength. Inside it is a dry-tube Igus bearing [...]
Mad Rock took over two years to design and finally produce the Ultra-Tech HMS Screwgate Locking Carabiner. The company’s goal was to build a lightweight and compact yet strong carabiner that would complement any belay device. The Ultra-Tech’s cold forged I-beam construction made this possible. It is a low bulk biner that features a non-snagging [...]
