This Swift Carabiner is thoughtfully designed using a modified D shape aluminum body and auto locking gate opening. This lightweight aluminum may be light in weight but it does not lack in durability. Designed with an auto locking gate for added security to prevent accidental opening when in use. Designed with a grid engraved pattern sleeve for added grip and comfort when being used with gloves or one hand operation. Made using an internal spring mechanism to not only close the carabiner, but also lock the carabiner as soon as the gate is released. This carabiner offers a pin nose feature, which is a notch in the nose of the carabiner to maintain the structure and strength. This type of nose is typically stronger. Made with a modified “D” shape to help push the load to the back of the spine. Allowing the weight to be carried primarily by the spine and less by the gate gives a stronger and lighter use. Rated strength of 23 kN. TAA Approved.
