12 kN Aluminum Utility Carabiner with Keyring, One-Hand Auto-Lock or Screw-Lock Gate Options
12 kN Aluminum Utility Carabiner with Keyring, One-Hand Auto-Lock or Screw-Lock Gate Options
This aluminum utility carabiner adds a compact attachment point for keys, bottles, bags, dog leashes, hammocks, tarps and compatible outdoor or gym accessories. Aerospace-grade 7075 aluminum is lightweight, rust resistant and smooth-edged, with a listed minimum breaking strength of 12 kN.
Choose an automatic quick-lock or manual screw-lock gate in the listed colors. Each three-inch D-shaped clip includes a keyring and weighs approximately 28 grams. The 12 kN figure is a breaking-strength rating rather than a universal safe working load. The manufacturer explicitly states that this utility carabiner is not for climbing, so never use it for personal suspension, rescue or fall protection. Inspect the gate and body before each use.
