I got these for racking racking nuts on my harness and they do just that. The keylock nose prevents snagging. Solid carabiner.
I got these more as auxiliary biners just to have a few extras and they’ve definitely come in handy a few times where I need just a couple more than I guessed. They live on the rear loops of my harness and are super simple and handy.
Straight to the point. Lightweight and good size. Even if you don't have a specific need/use for these (i.e. I bought these specifically to organize and hold my stoppers/nuts), these come in handy in so many ways.
Perfect for climbing and gear organization. Keylock design eliminates snagging, and the oval shape balances loads well. A must-have for any racker.
Got these for my quickdraws and gear loops — lightweight, durable, and smooth-gating. Pack of 3 is perfect for starting or replacing old biners.
These are great, sturdy, light beaners that are lighter compared to others of the same size as well and have a large base to hold a large load.
They work great for their intended purpose, from hanging gear off of my wildland web gear, to having spare carabiners for rope rescue.
These are great for all-around use. These worked well and arrived quickly. May need a few more.
