Description & Tech Specs
These spring hook carabiners are an inexpensive alternative for an open anchor system or backup component. They’re made from 10mm stainless steel rod stock and are available in both 304 & 316 stainless steel. The thicker wiregate not only adds strength but also adds resistance to the gate opening very easily; it also helps keep the wiregate in the (thicker) nose so that it doesn't pop-out of the nose so easily. Some people may not be used to gates this way, but we think this feature does have its advantages. We don't recommend them for use on permadraws (since they're tricky to clip on-the-fly); they're best suited for anchors. They will require a quick link to install.
They will fit inside 6 mm, 7 mm, 8 mm, and 10 mm quick links that have an opening of 10mm or larger.
Bent Gate:
Rated MBS is 22 kN, the average breaking strength is 28 kN. The gates a little less stiff on these than the straight gates, so they're easier to clip.
(These will be the SHC we will regularly stock after the straight gates are all sold out. )
Straight Gate:
Climbing Taiwan Break test video shows strengths of 26.60kN, 46.88kN, 49.58kN, 37.76kN, 46.36kN, and 36.14kN. NOTE: The first 3 & last 3 tests were of samples from 2 different manufacturers. The manufacturer they went with made the samples from the last 3 tests.
Climbing Taiwan gives them a WLL of 8 kN and MBS of 24kN.
They are not 3rd party EN or UIAA certified.
