GABBRO Carabiner Clip Heavy Duty, 4 Pack 12Kn (2697 lbs) Heavy Duty Keychain Aluminum Wiregate Caribeaners for Keys, Hammock, Hiking, Dog Leash

Okay, I admit that weeks ago, needing more ‘biners for coming winter hikes and photo shoots, I first bought the ‘bunch-for-few-bucks’ carabiners. After all, I wasn’t going to be counting on them while dangling from some rock face. What could possibly be wrong with such a simple device? Lots, I discovered, when 3 of the first 5 that I tested out of the bag of 10 could not be operated with one hand. That is, the bale was so out of alignment with the rest of the carabiner body that a second hand was required to match it up with the bale tip for closure. What a pain. The Gabbro’s, in contrast, have perfectly aligned bale and body, for simple one-handed use — even while wearing gloves. They’re light, but remarkably strong. In a word, reliable. In an age of technical sophistication that so often goes wrong, it’s a real pleasure to find gear that will not fail.

Lightweight, durable, and low profile. These are perfect for all purpose use. Except for climbing of course. They are not bulky and the spring clip is strong. The black key rings that are flat and help in organizing several keys. I am going to get more in the future!

Works as expected. No issues.

I use these to attach misc. things to my climbing harness. They work great.

exactly as ordered. Nice carabiners.

Came just as described, good quality!

Came with 4 keyrings, which makes it great new replacement for my work keys- great price for a 4 pack of them!

They were all black, which is what I ordered, but more importantly these are clearly very high quality carabiners.

These are nice carabiners. Look good, rated well (haven’t tested a significant load on them, but I’ll report back if there’s a failure). My only gripe is that I needed that full 0.98” gap when the gate is open, and all I can say it that it’s more like 0.85”, which is a significant difference. Otherwise, I’m pleased.

awesome does what it say
