Manufactured using high quality Alloy Steel for optimal ratio of strength to weight. Offset D shape results in larger gate opening. Sleeve is precisely aligned by hand so that it moves freely and locks on gate not the frame thus prevents jamming upon release under heavy loads.

“Hybrid” design utilizes stainless steel for gates and other internal parts insuring trouble-free performance for the life of the carabiner. Pins are flush-mounted with gate for a virtually snag-free operation. Thread design and medium neural provide a positive action for secure use with gloves yet is easy on bare hands.

Every NFPA carabiner from SMC, is third party certified by Underwriter’s Laboratories to meet NFPA 1983 (2006 ed.) “G” General Use.
