The DMM Spectre is an all-round carabiner for versatility and can be used across trad, sport, or winter climbing. They are full sized for ease of handling, while I-Beam construction and wire gates keep weight low. If you want one type of carabiner to cover all your climbing needs, you need an all-rounder. Wire gates are the lightest gate type available, and resist freezing shut in cold conditions. They are crucial in reducing the weight of your rack, and are ideal for trad, winter, and alpine climbing. Carabiners with wire gates need a gate notch to achieve their full strength rating. The notches on these carabiners are as small as possible while remaining functional, reducing the chance of them snagging on other equipment. 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.
Coloured carabiners allow colour coding of gear on your rack, helping you select the right piece of protection first time on a big trad lead.
Specifications:Dimension: 56 x 97mm Weight: 33g Major Axis Strength: 24kN Minor Axis Strength: 8kN Gate Open Strength: 9kN Gate Opening: 23mm Rated: EN 12275:2013 B, UIAA121:2009
The DMM Captive Eye ensures that in real life situations the connector will never be cross loaded through misalignment. Whatever the captive eye is stitched or connected to it can move freely thanks to the circular hole. The hole can also accommodate a second connector should the need for a rescue point arise.
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 DMM Revolver is certified for use as both a karabiner and a pulley. It is the same as DMM's standard Revolver karabiner, but it features a locking gate which provides extra security. There is a small wheel in the rope location groove to reduce rope drag, allowing the rope to run more efficiently through the karabiner.
A revolution in more ways than one! The DMM Revolver wire gated karabiner features a small wheel in the rope location groove. The result is a reduction in rope drag of up to 30%, which can, in effect, reduce the weight of your rope. A Revolver on your rack lets you reduce rope drag and make efficient mechanical advantage systems without the need for additional devices.
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 OCUN Falcon is the largest D-shaped karabiner in their collection. The Falcon is a karabiner of usual dimensions suitable for equipping climbing routes. It's popular especially amongst climbers who prefer the traditional routes and sandstone climbing. This karabiner is suitable for those who prefer maximum strength and reliability to low weight.
The OCUN Kestrel is an ultralight micro-karabiner that's suitable for use on multi-pitch and trad routes. Despite its low weight, the Kestrel has high strength and its wire gate helps to eliminate flutter, whilst reducing the chances of snow or ice accumulating and causing the gate to freeze in winter conditions.
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.
