Big Daddy Carabiner Big, bold and beautiful. The Big Daddy incorporates 12 mm rod stock to provide a rope-friendly radius. Perfectly suited to harness and belay/rappel device combinations. Locks tight with a silky-smooth screwgate. Camalot The Camalot's proven double-axle design provides superb expansion range and enormous strength. 7 overlapping sizes fit cracks up to 7". Units come with fixed slings, color-coded by size. Two-finger trigger bar is easy to operate. Strong, single-stem construction. A super-durable, flexible nylon sleeve protects the stainless steel stem from damage. Individually tested. Made in USA. Livewire and Hotwire Carabiners The stainless steel wire operates as both gate and spring. Not only does the wire gate simplify the carabiner, it's actually stronger than a conventional aluminum gate in cross-loading or edge-loading situations. In fact the gate will bend long before it breaks. The wire occupies a fraction of the biners internal "working-space" allowing the biner's body to be small and still maintain a space large enough to accomodate your finger and the rope. Hot forging on the Livewire produced a indexing ridge on the spine and created a flat "quick-draw" surface in the hinge area. This keeps the Livewire oriented as you want it. Quicksilver Carabiner The Quicksilver was first introduced 10 years ago and has become a modern classic. The Quicksilver2 has a wide gate opening and and ultra-wide, smooth, bottom curve to eliminate the hooked nose which can interfere with your clips.
