Steel Wiregate Captive Pin Carabiner
Description & Tech Specs
These are Climbing Taiwan's bent wiregate steel carabiners. They include an optional hammer-in pin to make a captive eye. Great for permadraws, particularly where more wear resistance is desired, they're zinc-plated for corrosion resistance. They're rated by the manufacturer and made in Taiwan.
Wiregates have a superiority to solid gates for outdoor use given there are less parts involved to get gunked-up, plus the maintenance is a lot straightforward. They're less susceptible to gate flutter. And cost less to manufacture than solid gate counterparts.
In our independent break-testing, we got 40 kN along the major axis (gate closed).
07/2026 Update: We've upgraded from straight-gate to bent-gate now. We also resolved the issue that a few of the previous 04/25 batch had with sticky gates (namely the wiregate was a touch too long & rubbed against the notch inside the nose). We're inspecting every piece for this issue.
