GREAT new carabiner!!!

[Tom Dunlap]

This has got to be the best idea for a carabiner that I have EVER seen! After it's release last year I understand that the company has developed one with locking gates for industrial use.

What uses can you think of for this cool biner?

super duper

that's really sweet. like that one poster mentioned, though, better not open both gates at once. i'm buying 10.:jester:

 

[Bermie]

Eeek, don't push both sides at the same time!
What about vertical loading strength? What application would you use this for?

 

[NickfromWI]

Ohhhhh Bermie...

:jester:

If it has locking gates I see using it small side down, and permanently attached to the bridge of my BF II. I would put two biners on the fat part, one with climbing line one with split tail. This way it is easier to recrotch and not have to mess with putting a larger ring on the BF II bridge.

What are the load capacities?
I could also see a use for it as a crotch point for two climber on a single large spar, rec climbing.....if the load capacity is high enough.

That is brilliant, Tom!

I can see it being really easy to use one-handed.

This one's worth watching for "developments". opcorn:

This is an April Fool's Day joke, right?

That was my take

Blue is for cold, red is for hot.

Just think how that thing would move around even if it locked!

Oh I am SO gullible!:stupid:

Would be great for lead rock climbing.

 

[Tom Dunlap]

Would be great for lead rock climbing.

Why would you climb lead rocks?

Why would you climb lead rocks?

Ahh my bad, you know what i mean

 

[John Paul Sanborn]

Ahh my bad, you know what i mean

Sorry, that's just how my sence of humor works.

I never climbed lead, I allways went with people better then me. My hardest climb was Devils Tower's Durrance route.

 

[Jim1NZ]

Haha never mind climbing poisonous trees, i think you would be a lot worse off climbing lead! :jester:
