A locking carabiner is a must-have item in the equipment of any climber, caving or mountaineering. It is difficult to imagine the sport without such a simple accessory.
The carabiner has several uses. From the simplest tasks like suspending keys, gloves or other gadgets to such uses as attaching a harness with a climbing rope. Depending on the application, you will of course choose different carabiners. The simplest ones, which cost literally a few zlotys, will not work well in climbing, and on the other hand, those designed for special tasks are too expensive to use only for suspending, for example, a water bottle.
For climbing, the hms bolt-on carabiner is very popular, and this is what you will find in this category. It is dedicated to this sport and whether you are climbing professionally or just amateur, you need a minimum of one piece. Such a carabiner consists of 3 parts: body, movable arm and lock. Each of these parts must be very durable so that it does not fail you when you need it most.
A locking carabiner is usually made of aluminum alloy. This ensures lightness and adequate strength. They weigh less than 100 grams. The quality of such a carabiner must be very precise, so the price is usually a few zlotys more than for an ordinary carabiner, which you need for less demanding tasks. Here the steel must be very well ground, so that it does not have any imperfections. Any protruding sharp element could adversely affect the quality of the rope and harness. For connecting the harness (center link) and climbing/climbing rope, it is the hms bolt-on carabiners or simply locking carabiners that are used.
In our offer you will find perfectly made and durable carabiners from reputable manufacturers, who also make other climbing accessories. They include, for example: Climbing Technology and Edelrid. Choosing carabiners from such companies will guarantee you confidence and safety during this wonderful activity.
You can buy carabiners by the piece or in sets. It pays more in a set, but you won't always need as many pieces. However, it is always worthwhile to have something in reserve. You never know when such a carabiner might come in handy. Maybe just maybe one of your friends will have a damaged one and will be in need? On the other hand, you can also use them to suspend other accessories that you hang on the climbers (loops used on the harnesses dedicated to suspending extra gear - usually 2 or 4).
Why use good quality hms bolt-on carabiners? First of all, the quality of manufacture will guarantee less friction and longer life of the connector from the harness and climbing rope. Secondly, with a bolt-on carabiner there is less chance that your rope will dislodge while climbing or descending. The movable arm, on the other hand, allows for quick release and clipping in when the lock is unscrewed.
The advantage of the carabiners available here is that you can use them not only for climbing. There are many other situations where you need a good, durable carabiner. When you equip yourself with one, you may find it useful for suspending a hammock, swinging in the backyard, hooking up accessories to your backpack when you lack space inside, or securing yourself when working at heights.
