Talk:Carabiner

message: These are often referred to as 'snap links', yet there is no mention of that term on the page and a wiki search of it doesn't refer to this page. Shouldn't 'Snap link' at least redirect here?

replies: text: In my experience. the term "snap link" refers to a much lighter duty item of a utility or hardware nature, which is used for connecting light objects or strapping things down, but it nowhere near strong enough to use in mountaineering applications, where failure might well mean death.  Although roughly similar in a certain sense, "snap link" is no more a synonym for "carabiner" than "pop gun" is a synonym for "cannon". Cullen328 (talk) 04:51, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: In the UK 'snap link' is a fairly common term for a non-locking carabiner within mountaineering/climbing circles. A quick search shows this term being used by the Glenmore Lodge guides  and an article from the Climbers Club journals . I think there shoudl be some mention of this term somewhere on the page.

message: I admit that Image:Carabiner.png isn't as pretty as Image:Carabiner2.png but I'm uncomfortable with prominently displaying a caribener that cannot be used for climbing in article predominantly about climbing, especially surrounded by text about climbing and without a caption saying the one shown can't be used for climbing.

message: The article mentions the Strength on the 'biners, but doesnt say whether thats the working load limit, or the breaking strength. 
Personally, I'm not sure what it is, otherwise I would edit it in.
Any takers? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nafango2 (talk • contribs) 03:39, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's referring to the breaking strain (all the UIAA and the CE requirements are that the carabiner does not break when loaded with X kN). Will change the main text to reflect this. Speekingleesh (talk) 13:01, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Noticed that the DMM Belay Master series carabiner isn't listed, surely it should be? Essentially it's a double locking carabiner so it's a type in its own right no? http://dmmclimbing.com  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.198.35.248 (talk) 23:02, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
