The DMM Shadow HMS is a large, but lightweight HMS karabiner with a short gate to maximise gate opening. The deep and wide top basket can take three clove hitches (<9.5mm rope).
The DMM Ultra O is a karabiner with symmetrical rope baskets, this makes it ideal for assisted breaking devices, pulleys, swivels and shackles. Oval karabiners allow pulleys to sit in an equalised position, the symmetrical shape also lessens the chance of shifting under load and potentially dislodging a marginal gear placement. The Ultra O is the perfect climbing aid!
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 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 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 Mammut Smart HMS 2.0 Screwgate Carabiner offers the same double safety and easy handling as the older version. The screw locking can beĀ operated only when the safety gate is open. Accidental opening is excluded, as well as unintentional twisting of the carabiner in the belay loop of the climbing harness. This prevents dangerous lateral loading. Mammut recommends use of the Smart HMS 2.0 carabiner for the Smart 2.0 belay device.
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 Edelrid HMS Bulletproof Belay FG Eco is a trend-setting belay carabiner with innovative locking mechanism, steel insert in the apex and without anodization. The integrated spring bar reliably prevents the carabiner from twisting in the tie-in loop to eliminate the risk of cross loading. In addition, the bar can only be opened if pressed from above, preventing the tie-in loop from accidentally changing position. Thanks to the compact design and slide gate closure, however this karabiner still has a slender profile and can be operated one-handed.
