The ISC HMS Karabiner has been expertly forged to ensure superior build quality and incorporates a unique 'blind' nose design to drastically reduce snagging, enhancing overall performance. The barrels feature an accurate square-cut notch to limit debris accumulation. These karabiners offer a sleek, ergonomic design coupled with an outstanding high strength-to-weight ratio.

The Petzl Djinn Steel is a bent gate steel carabiner designed to enhance durability, featuring an aluminum gate to maintain the same smooth clipping feel as the DJINN carabiner. It's generously sized gate opening facilitates easier handling and rope clipping, while the wider rope contact surface ensures improved rope glide and minimises wear on the carabiner. The carabiner's nose and Keylock system are specifically engineered to prevent snagging during manoeuvres, adding to its overall user-friendly design and functionality.

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 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 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 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 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 10mm Oval is a steel carabiner that's perfect for use with pulleys. The steel construction is lighter in weight than some of the alternatives, but it still delivers great levels of strength. Compact, strong and hard wearing, yet incredibly versatile in application. The oval shape centralises loaded connectors, slings, pulleys etc. minimising the unnerving jumping of equipment associated with D shaped connectors.

The DMM 10mm Equal D karabiner offers the perfect balance of strength, usability and weight. A long standing favourite in DMM's height safety range, the 10mm Equal D is available with a choice of 3 gate closure systems, you can choose between a traditional screwgate, a 2-way kwiklock or a 3 way locksafe. Which ever you opt for, they all feature a 15mm gate opening for loading things and all three are zinc plated to prevent and protect against corrosion.

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

The Maillon Rapide Delta is a triangular shaped connector with a hand or spanner tightening screw thread for use in mountaineering, caving, rescue and access situations. Comes in steel with a zinc galvanised finish and stainless steel options from 4mm through to 12mm diameters.

The Maillon Rapide Standard was developed on the principle of a chain link fitted with manual nut opening. This shape reflects the spirit of Maillon Rapide quick links connectors.

The Maillon Rapide Pear are ideal for rigging ropes in any situation where they will not be in view during use as they are much less likely than a karabiner to open accidentally. The downside is that they are slightly slower to use than a screw gate karabiner. The pear shape gives the rope room to run over the wider end. Available in galvanised or stainless steel, and in a number of different sizes (see drop down menu).
