Karabiners and Connectors

The Beal Be Safe is a HMS screwlock karabiner that's perfect for use with belay devices as it can accommodate two ropes at once, without the risk of them becoming overlapped in the event of a fall. The reception cradle ensures that the two ropes slide together and does not generate friction on the sides of the carabiner when the rope is braked. This is true whether rappelling or stopping a fall.

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.

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 Petzl Attache is a lightweight and compact, pear-shaped karabiner with as screw gate opening. It has multiple uses for belaying, such as connecting a belay system to a harness and belaying with a Munter hitch. It has a H-cross section to reduce weight, as well as the keylock system to avoid the karabiner snagging during manoeuvres.

The OCUN Condor HMS is a large karabiner that responds to the new trends of safety. Equipped with an independent internal wire gate that prevents it from rotating and guards against unwanted release from a belay loop, this karabiner ensures safe belaying and rappelling. The internal gate locks in the right direction and therefore prevents upward release. This means that the belayer can focus their full attention on the climber. The Condor brings a new level of safety into belaying.

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 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 Petzl Rollclip Z is a carabiner with an integrated pulley for reducing friction and redirecting rope. The Z specific model has a gate which opens on the non-pulley side of the carabiner, to allow for easier installation onto anchors and other devices.

The Petzl Rollclip A is a carabiner with an integrated pulley to reduce friction and redirect the rope. With the A version of the Rollclip the gate opening is on the pulley side to facilitate installation of the rope when the pulley is fixed to the anchor or device.

The Oxan is Petzl's high quality steel oval karabiner with a keylock gate closure, this is the steel karabiner of choice for demanding conditions. Petzl’s Keylock means less snagging, while the red indicator on the screw lock provides a visual warning if the gate is not locked.

The Petzl Eashook Open carabiner has a gated attachment point for lanyards or slings, making it possible to reuse the connector when the lanyard is damaged.

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 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 12mm Offset D is a locking steel karabiner that is ideal for use in commercial environments, such as work positioning or in outdoor adventure parks and education centres. An Offset D connector takes the spinal loading strength of a D-shaped back but extends the basket at one end to maximize gate opening and overall size without compromising ergonomics and weight. Cold forged from 12mm bar, the strengths achieved in testing exceed 45kN and it is first choice in applications requiring stronger connectors in their 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 DMM 12mm Boa is a great steel carabiner with a wide variety of applications. Whether using in a commercial work environment, outdoor adventure parks or outdoor education centres - this is a steel karabiner capable of many jobs. It has all the versatility of its alloy sibling, but has a rated strength of 40kN. It can be used for many applications where a large gate opening or high internal volume are required. The smooth rounded internal form is very useful when rotating the karabiner through attachment eyes, and the basket curves nicely to allow central hanging of loaded components.

The DMM Rhino karabiner is not restricted to assisted locking belay devices: it works brilliantly with standard devices. The full cross section of the top bar means greater wear resistance, and smooth operation in guide mode usage. The horn makes identification by feel on the rear gear loop easier, and the clean nose design provides snag-free loading and unloading of ropes. The big burly top bar is contrasted by our signature I-Beam construction on the non-rope bearing surfaces resulting in a total weight of 72g.

The DMM Ceros is a purpose-built belay karabiner designed to reduce the risk of cross-loading and improve rope handling. Its internal wire gate keeps the karabiner captive on the belay loop, while the horn on the spine prevents assisted braking devices from moving out of position. Lightweight yet incredibly strong, the Ceros features I-Beam construction, a full section top bar, and a snag-free keylock nose. Available in Screwgate, Kwiklock, Locksafe, Durolock, and ANSI-certified options, it’s the ultimate belay connector for climbers who prioritise safety and reliability.

The Raumer Round Stainless Steel Ring's surface allows for easy insertion of the rope and exerts the minimum damage to the sheath. As the pressure is spread over the full 360°, the wear on the ring is almost non-existent.  Also used to equip improvised abseil stations using cordage and a bolt-chain-carabiner combination.

The DMM Anchor Rings are simple, functional anchor components that work seamlessly with connectors and textile components. They are ideal when a tamper-proof linking component is preferred over opening connectors, such as establishing remote anchor points.

The DMM Zodiac Karabiners are offset D connectors with an incredibly strong 32kN major axis, making them ideal for rescue loads and heavy rigging. The clean nose gate uses DMM's patented Taperlock design and their toughest barrel, giving very strong gate open and side face strengths. Can be used for general use where weight saving and high strength are important.

The ISC Offset D Keylock Karabiner is great for use by arborists, as well as in industrial height safety and rope access.

The Petzl Am'D karabiner is great for most uses and thanks to its D-shape it's one of the strongest and lightest locking carabiners out there. The 'D-shape' has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of all karabiner designs. The shape and size of the AM'D is great for most uses, such as connecting a belay device to your harness or as a connector at the end of a lanyard. The D-shape makes it one of the strongest and lightest locking carabiners Petzl makes.
