SOB Carabiner Caribeener Clips Heavy Duty Large Alloy Steel D Ring Shape Locking Carabiner for Hammock,Keychain,Outdoor,Camping,Hiking,Dog Leash Harness

Im not an avid climber, so maybe Im unfamiliar with the language used here -- but Im frustrated these are the twist several times to (un)lock not the quarter turn twist to (un)lock. I feel like the description implied these were the quick & easy quarter-turn rather than the screw-lock. Ill find a use for these, but Id find more uses if they were more convenient to open.

This is an excellent carabiner to be used for fall protection and other rope applications. This would be good for rock climbing, arboriculture, high-and low-angle rope rescue, construction, and/or industrial rope work (as examples). Based on the stampings on the body, these carabiners have major axis strength of 28 kN, a minor axis strength of 7 kN, and a gate open strength of 7kN. Given those ratings, this is a good piece of safety equipment. If you are looking for carabiners to hang your water bottle off your pack, these tools are overkill and significantly stronger than you need. However, if you looking for functional safety equipment that could save your life, these are the types of carabiners you should consider.

Large carabiner made of quality materials. These will provide good versatile use. The carabiner clip has good spring action for solid closure. The clip lock is easy to control with one hand / finger. These are good for hiking, camping, climbing, etc. They are going into my truck so theyll be there when I need them.

The only drawback that keeps these from perfection is the goop. It’s lubricated a little too much and instantly got my fingers messy. The colors are REALLY cool too. Feels like these could hold an elephant. I am very pleased with these and you will be too. Just pack some wet wipes.

Excellent quality carabiners at a great price. These are much more well made than I expected. Been using them with great confidence for saddle hunting.

These things are HUGE! and almost as big as your hand, but exceptionally well made. The d-ring shaped carabiners from SOB are built to last, and you can handle tough jobs with aplomb. The twist-to-lock feature is easy to control even one-handed, and will come in handy in those tight situations when things get tricky. I consider these to provide incredible value for your money considering that theyre not the typical cheap and flimsy carabiners found in most big-box retail stores. This powerful set of two made of 7075 aircraft aluminum alloy, will stand the test of time. This is a 5-star product that I would buy again.

These puppies are heavy duty. Going to work well for me.

You never really want to cheap out with climbing equipment, right? Its been about a decade since Ive climbed and am considering getting back into it. These are light weight, lock well, seem comparable to other brand name climbing carabiners I have. However, one of them appears to have a dent on arrival (see photo). Will this affect the safety of the biner if you fall climbing? I dont know. Probably not, but? Maybe someone who knows a little more than me can answer that.

These are solid and well made.

Very high quality
