I got this carabiner as a little thing — just to attach keys to my backpack. Honestly, I didn't even know it was a well-known brand. I thought it was just an ordinary metal carabiner for a couple of bucks. When I took it in hand, I was surprised. It's small, but very neatly made: nothing rattles, the spring is tight, and it opens crisply. At first, the slide-lock seemed unnecessary, but in practice, it's really useful — nothing will accidentally come undone. I carry keys, a flashlight, and small items on it — it holds up without any problems. Despite its size, the steel looks strong, and the carabiner itself is almost weightless. I use it daily: for my backpack, belt, sometimes in the car — it's convenient everywhere. It's nice that you can quickly detach it, but there's a lock to prevent accidental opening. I later found out that Nite Ize is quite a famous American EDC accessory manufacturer. Now I understand why this "little thing" feels higher quality than most no-name brands. ⚠️ The only thing — it's not a climbing carabiner and not for high loads. For home use and EDC — it's perfect. Pros: ✔ very compact and lightweight ✔ reliable lock ✔ quality steel ✔ convenient for keys and gear Cons: — small size (may not fit thick straps) — not for heavy loads 👉 Conclusion: bought it by accident — keeping it forever. Now I understand why these types of carabiners are recommended for EDC kits.

MILITARY is a premium dealer of Nite Ize.
Nite Ize is an American company from Colorado, whose history dates back to 1989, when student Rick Case accidentally dropped the flashlight he was holding in his mouth while night fishing – this situation inspired him to create the Headband Mini Flashlight Holder. Today, the brand offers over 500 innovative EDC accessories, valued for their practical approach to everyday challenges. Nite Ize's reputation was cemented by the S-Biners, distinctive double-sided carabiners that have achieved iconic status in functional design, comparable to classics such as the Coca-Cola bottle. In 2024, the company received a unique three-dimensional trademark protecting the shape of the S-Biner. Among its flagship products are Gear Tie, flexible, reusable cable ties for organizing cables, and Tru Zip, an innovative, waterproof zipper without classic teeth. Both solutions perfectly illustrate the brand's approach to design: transforming everyday inconveniences into simple, ingenious tools. Today, the Nite Ize team has approximately 250 employees, and the company generates annual revenues in excess of $100 million, operating in markets around the world.

This is one of my favorites – I especially like it in black. It has never disappointed me and is perfect as an extension for a keychain. The lock is a big plus – it may get a bit looser over time, but it’s still good that it’s there.
-
Nice carabiner from a well-known company. I thought it would be bigger, but it's a very small model. The advantage is the opening lock, making it harder to lose something.
-
Great, solid carabiner from a well-known brand. They're fairly small but durable. High-quality materials and solid workmanship. In my opinion, the price matches the product.

I have a similar carabiner from this company in the same size but shaped like an S (two separate loops). I ordered this model because it has a larger closure and I was hoping for easier attaching and detaching of my keyring from the D-ring on my belt. The closure is indeed larger and easier to operate with a finger... unless the carabiner turns upside down, which unfortunately happens often and delays the detaching. For this use, I switched back to the S-shaped model :) The lock to prevent accidental opening is a great advantage. The carabiner is not painted, so nothing will peel. I recommend it.

The carabiner is solidly made, as you would expect from Nite Ize. The lock effectively prevents accidental opening, so even valuable things won't get lost in the field, even if you snag on something. Attached to both pants and the MOLLE system in a vest, it works great.

Small and solid carabiner, great for hanging keys, flashlights, or small items. I have a few pieces in different sizes and they always work well. The lock prevents accidental opening. I recommend it.
