Nite Ize  S-Biner #4 Stainless-Steel Dual Carabiner

I was looking for some mini-caribiners to hook a couple of small tools onto my camera tripod. I bought the #1 S-Biner (2-pack) at a hardware store. They were small enough and so very easy to clip on and off. They work so much better than regular carabiners! So happy I found them!

I have used these for a while. I bought the slide lock one and lost one of the slides. Wonder if I could purchase. Other than that I love these.

Until now, I've used a heavier, standard clip on my belt for a long watch chain style keychain. I bought these for a better looking option. I have examined them and I'm sure they will work fine, but have not actually worn them yet. Concerning the one bad review concerning seizing up with seawater exposure, I wonder if that might not happen with almost all such hooks. I wonder how many designers and manufacturers think about what the internal spring will be made of and whether it will be as resistant to corrosion as the stainless clip itself.

I bought this as an experiment and it worked out really well. In effect, you have two split-key-rings but they are fixed in a flat 2D shape rather than turning 90-degrees to each other.

The design where each clip overlap makes it so when you open one side to take a key off, the otehr side is against your palm and opens as well. I have dropped keys multiple times and finally lost one for a trailer lock on a borrow trailer this weekend. This should not be advertised as a key holder, as all the photos show, Niteize has a locking version of this and the ahh bottle opener one I had for several years before one of the springs broke. I will buy one of those instead.

I keep finding new uses for this S-Biner for both Travel and hiking. So useful I make a point of keeping one in my travel and hiking kit.

backpacker here. found these years ago. -they also come in plastic harder to find go to Home Depot for that. Most metal ones can find in any hardware store. -they come in colors, sizes -they are durable metal material but not heavy -UNLIKE REGULAR DESIGN THE SPRINGS DONT BREAK AS EASY -the allow you to LEAVE THE CARABINER ATTACHED to backpack etc WHILE TAKING OFF ITEMS FROM OTHER END unlike regular design carabiners. good for safety -fairly priced

We use these at my job to keep the lock and the keys together when we do lock out tag out while doing cleaning or repairs on machinery. Just going off of memory at home, when wanting to hang some glass orbs from delicate chain for a few plants, I guessed at the size ordered these and they were way smaller and even kind of cute if you will- much more suited for my purpose. Lucky little accident.

I bought key chain from niteize at a local hardware store. I was having trouble with it is as a couple of times my keys came off, then I lost a key to my vehicle and it was going to be expensive for a locksmith to come out and replace it. I called niteize and was made aware that when I bought the key chain that the locks that came with it were missing. Nitieze reimbursed me the cost of making the new key even though it wasn't there fault that the locks had been removed somehow when on display at the store. This is outstanding in my opinion in this day an age to find a company that was really concerned and made good is so unusual. I love my new niteize products that were sent to me at no charge and would never use anything else. I feel wonderful knowing I can recommend a company that really cares about there customers and there experience. Get niteize products they are really good and from a company that is head and shoulders above the rest.

Wonderful product, does absolutely everything you'd expect it to and nothing you don't. So far it's held onto everything I've thrown on it from rock climbing shoes to a Canon 70D all the way through the Grand Canyon. Easy as cake to use, definitely worth buying (sooooo much better than a normal carabiner).
