The DMM Phantom is a featherweight at just 42 grams. 24kN major axis and 9kN minor axis strength means the Phantom is strong despite its minimal weight. The locking carabiner that doesn't compromise on weight or strength. I-Beam construction improves the strength to weight ratio, a minimised gate notch reduces snagging, and sound fundamental design encourages correct loading. The Phantom can be used on lightweight quickdraws, to rack gear, or to hold essentials like nut keys.
Features:
Personal Locking Carabiner for versatility and low weight: Personal lockers are used where weight and size are as important as strength, such as on sling runners and for most connection points on belay stances. In a standard 2 person climbing team, most of your locking carabiners will be personal lockers.
Offset D carabiner for optimal loading and ergonomics: D-Shaped carabiners encourage loading in their strongest orientation by forcing loads toward the carabiner spine. An Offset D refines this basic design by extending the top bar, increasing internal volume. This improves handling and compatibility with thick ropes and slings.
Keylock nose eliminates snagging: This carabiner's nose slots into a groove in the gate, allowing it to achieve full strength without a gate notch. This creates a clean internal profile that won't catch on gear, bolts or slings, giving easier clipping and removal from systems.
I-Beam construction for optimum strength to weight ratio: I-Beam construction techniques allow carabiners to be lighter without compromising strength. This is achieved through hot forging, a process which allows metal to be made into complex shapes that improve functionality.
Locking Gate Types:
Screwgate: Manual locking gate requiring screwing/unscrewing of the barrel to lock/unlock.
Kwiklock: Auto-locking gate requiring two distinct actions to open.
Locksafe: Auto-locking gate requiring three distinct actions to open.
Durolock: Auto-locking gate requiring four distinct operations to open. Force must be maintained throughout or the gate returns to safe (locked).
Kwiklock ANSI: Same gate action as Kwiklock but the connector is also required to exceed 16kN in minor axis, side load and gate face tests.
Locksafe ANSI: Same gate action as Locksafe but the connector is also required to exceed 16kN in minor axis, side load and gate face tests.
