Highlights

A gate that cannot be knocked open

Half a turn of the collar. A gear clip, not climbing equipment.

Screw-lock collar

Threads over the gate so a strap or branch cannot nudge it open.

Aluminium alloy

Light, and it will not rust in salt air.

For things you would lose

Keys, torches, dry bags on a boat.

Gear only

No CE or UIAA certification, so never for climbing or people.

Product description

About this product

The screw collar is the point.

A plain spring clip can be nudged open by a strap or a branch, and whatever was on it is gone. Threading the collar down over the gate stops that. For anything you would be annoyed to lose — keys, a head torch, a camera strap, a dry bag on a boat — that half turn is worth the trouble.

Aluminium alloy keeps it light and stops it rusting in coastal air.

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

Is a screw lock enough to climb on?

No. The lock is not what makes a carabiner safe to climb on: certification, materials testing and batch destruction testing are. A screw-lock clip without a CE and UIAA mark is a gear clip with a better gate, nothing more. Climbing hardware is bought from a climbing supplier, not from a general outdoor shelf.

Why choose this over the plain spring clip?

Because of what you are clipping. On a pack walking through bush, or on a boat, a plain gate can be knocked open and drop what is on it. The screw collar takes a second and removes that risk entirely. For a mug on a chair it is unnecessary.

Does the collar undo itself?

It can work loose with vibration over a long day, which is true of every screw-lock design including certified ones. Check it when you check your kit. If it matters, give it a turn each time you stop.

Will it corrode?

Aluminium alloy resists salt air far better than plated steel. The one thing to watch is the thread: rinse salt out of it, because a seized collar is the usual way these stop being useful.

How do I look after it?

Rinse after salt water, work the collar so the thread stays clean, and keep grit out of the gate. Do not force a stiff collar.
