Maillon Rapide quick link connectors have a number of uses in caving, climbing and industrial access. Some are PPE rated and they are available in a number of different shapes to accommodate different loading stresses. Generally they are much stronger than karabiners of similar bar dimensions, but not as quick to operate.

These Lifeventure Karabiners are a great little travel accessory - ideal for securing gear to your pack, popping your stuff of the floor or even clipping your sun glasses to your belt. Many people come in to get them as a key ring. The list is an endless amount of possibilities. These are not load bearing but are made from lightweight anodised aluminium alloy, with a single-wire gate and offer a fast and secure attachment.

The Black Diamond GridLock Screwgate Karabiner has been engineered to eliminate cross-loading during belaying. Its unique, patent-pending design isolates the harness belay loop behind the internal gate, ensuring the karabiner always stays properly aligned. Built with hot-forged construction, an I-beam spine, and a large rope-bearing surface, it offers maximum strength, smooth rope handling, and reduced wear. Easy to use, intuitive, and secure, the GridLock is the ultimate belay-specific karabiner for climbers who want safety and simplicity.

Maillon Rapides have a working load limit that is a fifth of the breaking load of the maillon (as stated by the manufacturer) and will become damaged and distorted if they are used above this load limit. Some are certified as PPE (to protect falls from height) and some are not. If you are unsure of which is which, either ask us, or have a look at your maillon which will be marked with "PPE" if it is and "CE" if it is not. CE maillons conform to Maillon Rapide's standards but are not certified as PPE.

The Semi circular or half moon Maillon Rapide is ideal for securing caving harnesses, it is commonly used for the junction of 2 connecting points on a harness. Screw links are a lot more secure than karabiners so are essential if there's a possibility that the connector may be cross-loaded.

The Foin 10mm Oval is a true oval karabiner in 10mm steel, rated to 22kn. It is ideal for use with pulleys in all except the highest loading situations. This oval connector allows it to be used with the full range of pulleys, as well as all the other standard uses for a karabiner.

The Petzl Freino is a twist-lock karabiner that incorporates an integral braking system for improving friction on descenders and belay devices. Works extremely well with the Grigri when using slimmer ropes such as the Beal Booster, which can normally be a struggle. The Freino is ideal for adding or adjusting friction during descents.
