The DMM 12mm Offset D features an exceptionally strong steel construction. This is achieved by the cold forging processing and the heat treated carbon steel. This locking steel karabiner has three different gate closure systems. You can choose between a traditional screwgate, a two way auto locking option known as the kwiklock or the triple locking system known as locksafe. All of the gate closure systems on this steel karabiner allow for an 18mm gate opening, this is then maximised by the Offset D shape. The 18mm gate opening allows for easy of clipping and loading of ropes and strops.
Offset D for ergonomics: The Offset D connector shape takes the optimal loading of a D-shaped connector but with an increased internal volume at one end - the basket. This adds to the positivity in the hand, especially when wearing gloves.

The Beal Air-Smith is a steel karabiner that is ideal for rigging and a variety of other uses. It has one of the highest strength ratings and comes with two easy to use gate locking systems.
The DMM 12mm Klettersteig is a steel carabiner that offers high levels of strength whilst combining a large gate opening so its easy to clip on steel cables for use on a Via Ferrata. The Klettersteig shape takes the strength and volume increases of an Offset D and then extends them even further to give a high volume, super-strong connector. The Klettersteig’s wide gate opening makes it particularly suitable for clipping oversized items, or simply allows ease of use in more normal situations.
The Petzl Vulcan D is a high grade, D shaped karabiner for professional work. Designed for use in difficult environments, this karabiner is made from high quality steel and is ideal for setting multiple anchors.
The DMM Phantom is their ultimate trad and alpine screwgate Karabiner, and when you hold those 42 grams you will understand why! They claim they could have made it even lighter, but did not want to compromise the handling or strength. As you can see from the specification below the strength is still impressive and the gate opening reasonable for a small D shaped biner.
The Zodiac 12mm Keylock is DMM's flagship rigging karabiner. It's extremely strong and therefore suited to heavy use situations like heavy duty rigging, rescue loads and group instruction, where toughness and strength are key. The clean nose gate uses DMM's patented Taperlock design and their toughest barrel to give very strong gate open and side face strengths.
The Edelrid Pure Screw is a small and robust screwgate karabiner with a keylock closure. It is universally suitable for a wide range of applications. The special geometry of the nose combined with the keylock closure ensures optimal handling when hooking and unhooking. The large rope contact area reduces material wear, and its high open strength is an additional safety feature.
The Petzl Sm'D represents a D-shaped carabiner with a locking mechanism, known for its lightweight and compact design. It finds utility across various scenarios, offering ease of handling even with gloves, and comes in two different locking system variations.
The DMM Vault ensures safe, strong and secure racking for ice screws and tools. Traditionally made of plastic, this material is much more rigid and secure, making the DMM Vault a much more durable option. Featuring a locking option minimises the chances of accidental gate opening, keeping your equipment safely in place and not tumbling down the cliff face!
