These full size offset D locking karabiners are for use in rescue and industrial applications. Schools and Ropes Courses find this karabiner useful as well. Available in Silver and Black. If a karabiner gets wet from rain or snow the gates can be treated with any water repellent lubricant. This also works to flush dirt and grit from a sticking gate.
Impact can damage a karabiner internally and weaken it.
If a karabiner is dropped on a climb, do not continue to use it.
