Product description

About this product

For hanging things off other things.

A spring clip earns its place by being the fastest way to attach anything to anything: a water bottle to a pack strap, keys to a belt loop, a towel to a guy line, a dry bag to a kayak. Aluminium alloy keeps it light and stops it rusting in coastal air the way a steel clip does.

Important: this is a gear clip, not climbing equipment. Real climbing carabiners carry a CE and UIAA certification mark and a kN rating stamped into the spine, are individually batch tested, and cost many times this. This one has none of that, and we will not sell it as something it is not. Use it for hanging and securing kit. Never use it to hold a person, in a climbing system, or for a hammock or anything overhead where a failure would drop a load onto somebody.

Questions

Good to know

Can I climb on this?

No. Certified climbing carabiners carry a CE mark, a UIAA mark and a kN rating stamped into the spine, and they are batch tested to destruction. This clip has none of those things. Some listings for clips like this quote a kN figure; without certification behind it that number means nothing, and we would rather tell you that than repeat it.

Can I hang a hammock from it?

No, for the same reason. A hammock puts a person at height on hardware that has not been tested, and the forces in a hammock suspension are far higher than the weight of the person in it. Use certified hardware or the straps the hammock came with.

What is it actually good for?

Everything that is not a person. Water bottles, keys, mugs, wet towels, dry bags, shoes off the outside of a pack, a lantern in a tent, organising a vehicle. That is a lot of daily usefulness for what it costs.

Will it corrode at the coast?

Aluminium alloy holds up far better than plated steel, which rusts within weeks in salt air. Rinse it after seawater and it will keep working. There is no plating to flake off.

How do I look after it?

Rinse off salt and grit. If the gate sticks, rinse and work it rather than forcing it. Replace it if the spring weakens or the gate stops closing fully, since a clip that does not close is a clip that drops things.
