Carabiners have the added advantage of speed and single-hand operation, a definite boon regardless of their application.

Made from superior durable, lightweight aircraft aluminium, this carabiner clip screw is elegant and strong. They’ll never rust or break because it’s made with good quality materials that will last you for years! The carabiner can withstand 2697 pounds of force–ultralight as well, so there isn’t any worry about your keys being insecure in their grasp when attached to these keychains. Size: The carabiner clip keyring size is 5.8 cm x 3.0 cm, and it’s much larger than other D-shaped keychains, making this item very strong! Pear/HMS: Wider and rounder shape at the top than offset-D's, and typically larger. Used for belaying with a munter hitch, and with some types of belay device. The largest HMS carabiners can also be used for rappelling with a munter hitch (the size is needed to accommodate the hitch with two strands of rope). These are usually the heaviest carabiners. D shaped carabiners were another one of the major early contributions made to carabiners as climbing protection, making its first appearance sometime in the ’40s. They’re designed to shift the load towards the strong spine of the carabiner, and also help to mitigate any accidental loading of the gate that might happen from shifting. The word carabiner is etymologically rooted in the German phrase for “spring-hook” and was originally a means for riflemen to keep their “carbine” slung over their shoulder and at the ready. The design was adopted by firefighters and eventually made its way into the mountaineering world through one Otto “Rambo” Herzog in 1911.For carabiners, form is very much related to function, and the shape of your carabiner can impact everything from the clipping action, to load distribution, and even the baseline structural strength. The first carabiners were pear and oval shaped, and while these designs are still often employed by contemporary climbers, there are a few newer shapes that you’ll see a lot of in your time at the local crag. D Shape The best part about using a carabiner? They come in different shapes along with sizes ranging all over six inches long-sixteen centimetres)depending upon what exactly want them to use. Carabiner Key Clip:

The sturdy metal frame will keep all your outdoor gear safe from harm while you’re out on the road experiencing new things in life, such as fishing trips at scenic overlooks with spectacular views of nature’s beauty that may never happen again if we don’t take these moments now because someone might just ruin them by coming too close to where they belong. You’ll occasionally see other specialty carabiners in your climbing life. Prime examples are the wide opening carabiners you’ll see on ziplines and via ferratas or multidirectional carabiners that are built to specifically withstand loading in a few directions Gate Types Suitable: The carabiner clip small is a fantastic device for camping, hiking and travelling. It can be used as an overnight bag or hanging keychain!This screw gate Carabiner is great for outdoor activity, camping, fishing and hiking. You can also use it to connect parts of your anchor system or hang bags with an attached hook so that they don’t drop into deep water while you’re out enjoying the day at sea! As mentioned, the shape of a carabiner clip has a massive influence on its strength. If they’re rated for climbing use and used properly, the specific brand of the climbing carabiner isn’t going to matter as much. But there are still some considerations you should make. Industry: Carabiners used for access in commercial and industrial environments within Europe must comply with EN 362:2004 "Personal protective equipment against falls from a height. Connectors." The minimum gate closed breaking strength of a carabiner conforming with EN 362:2004 is nominally the same as that of EN 12275:1998 at around 20 kN. Carabiners complying with both EN 12275:1998 and EN 362:2004 are available. Carabiners on hot-air balloons are used to connect the envelope to the basket and are rated at 2.5, 3, or 4 tonnes. [4]

Fire rescue: Minimum breaking strength requirements and calculations for rescue carabiners used by NFPA compliant agencies are set out in National Fire Protection Association standard 1983-2012 edition Fire Service Life Safety Rope and Equipment. The standard defines two classes of rescue carabiners. Technical use rescue carabiners are required to have minimum breaking strengths of 27kN gate closed, 7kN gate open and 7kN minor axis. General use rescue carabiners are required to have minimum breaking strengths of 40kN gate closed, 11kN gate open and 11kN minor axis. Testing procedures for rescue carabiners are set out in ASTM International standard F 1956 Standard Specification of Rescue Carabiners. The simple and supported design makes them the strongest of all of the different carabiner shapes, provided the spine is carrying the brunt of the burden. They’re a straightforward and utilitarian option that can find suitable applications in many different styles of climbing. Carabiners are widely used in rope-intensive activities such as climbing, fall arrest systems, arboriculture, caving, sailing, hot-air ballooning, rope rescue, construction, industrial rope work, window cleaning, whitewater rescue, and acrobatics. They are predominantly made from both steel and aluminium. Those used in sports tend to be of a lighter weight than those used in commercial applications and rope rescue. As a general rule, heavier carabiners are going to have a longer lifespan than their smaller, lighter counterparts. They also might be a little easier to handle when your arms and hands are shot from hauling yourself up a wall.

Occasionally you’ll hear this shape referred to as an HMS carabiner, in reference to their compatibility with a Munter hitch belay. The wide, flat head of the carabiner makes it a great masterpoint option.
