Rock Exotica RockD Screwgate Black

Rock Exotica's RockD Screwlock carabiner in sleek black is a top - notch choice. It features a super - strong 'D' shape and is also available in an auto - lock version. The slightly angled gate not only provides better ergonomics but also offers a wider opening, making it easier to use. Weighing just 2.61 oz (73 gm), it's lightweight yet incredibly tough. Its breaking strength is remarkable: 29 kN on the major axis, 9 kN on the minor axis, 9 kN with an open gate, and 6 kN when inward against the sleeve. The gate opening measures .98' (24.9 mm). Rock Exotica has outdone other manufacturers by refining the carabiner to perfection. Their carabiners come with unique features. They have the highest inward gate/sleeve strength, minimizing the risk of the sleeve breaking open. They offer the widest variety of lockers, including the great Manual Lock. Their Autolocks are the best, using a pull - down & twist sleeve that's intuitive and a breeze to use. Once you try it, you'll never switch back. The wide gate opening, thanks to the angled design, is both ergonomic and more accessible. And the best part? It's USA - made at their Utah factory.

Using your Rock Exotica RockD Screwgate Carabiner is easy. First, make sure the gate is open by unscrewing the screwlock. Then, attach it to the appropriate item like a rope or harness. After that, close the gate and screw the lock tightly to ensure it's secure. When using, always check the carabiner for any signs of damage before each use. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures or harsh chemicals as this can weaken the metal. For maintenance, clean it regularly with a mild soap and water. Dry it thoroughly to prevent rust. Store it in a cool, dry place. If you notice any cracks, dents, or significant wear, stop using it and replace it immediately for your safety.
