FresKaro 15kN-3372lbs Heavy Duty Wiregate Carabiners, Reliable Time-Tested Stainless Steel Spring Gate, for Camping, Hiking, Hammocks, Backpacking, Dog Leash etc., 3.15inch

These are true load bearing carabiners. I don't know if they could be used for climbing or other life-jeopardizing activities, I have not attempted to do that nor do I express any opinion on whether they could or should be used that way. But for hanging things like your back pack, bear bag, tarp, acting as a pully for lifting logs, or bearing the weight of other relatively heavy items, these work well. They work out to be about $2.5 per carabiner which given their quality and true load bearing strength is a good deal. They do not appear to be just "cosmetic" as many carabiners are these days. Rather they are well made and durable at a good price.

1.) Don't use these for climbing. I honestly bet they'd be fine, but don't even think about risking it.That said, I've been using the orange one for a year now as the clip for my 65lb german shepherd's yard lead since we don't have a fenced yard. It's been just left outside in the rain, dirt and snow for the last year and the orange anodizing is barely even showing wear. The wire gate is still perfectly smooth and stiff. And it's shrugged off more than a couple hits of her full-speed charging and forgetting she was on it when she saw a squirrel (for reference she absolutely snapped the carabiner that came with said lead the first time she yanked it). for general utility use, these are outstanding. Durable as heck, clean and simple to use, versatile size, and clearly well made with how outrageously tough the anodizing has proven to be.

This is not my first FresKaro carabiner rodeo (I have bigger locking FresKaro offerings in my collection). These are handy little quick attachment/release gate clips. There are smaller versions of this, but I followed a review's advice and got these slightly larger and higher load rated ones. That was good advice. They are beautifully finished and should be more than enough for the light applications I intend - keys, and light hanging gizmos (like lanterns and even clocks). I would never trust my life to a wiregate carabiner. They are perfect for some applications, but not everything. It's all about quick attachment and release and light to moderate duty. Yes, they are rated for moderate loads on the long axis, but never compromise on climbing or gear safety or go near the stated limits. You have plenty of options with locking gates and specs. These are very nice and functional items, and I am very happy with them. It's a decent brand and good product at an affordable price. There, that's the whole story.

These are nice wire gate carabiners but what surprised me more than it should have was how small they are. Apparently the only models that are actually rated for any kind of heavy work like climbing are some of the larger locking carabiners, which are nearly 4 inches on the long side of the "D". With those, I can get all four fingers through and hold the long side. I usually wear medium or large men's gloves.With these, I can only get three fingers through to hold the long side of the "D" shape. Apparently these are really only meant for use with accessories or possibly holding a single-person hammock (if you are not too heavy). Honestly, I wouldn't really use them for that kind of purpose. But they work fine for clipping some boot chains onto my hiking pack.There is an even smaller model that is just under 3 inches in size, those are really only meant for something like keys or maybe attaching a 5-10 LB rolled up extension cable to a wire rack or something. They are actually a bit small for larger hands to even get the gate open without fiddling with it. And the hook isn't large enough to really engage with the wire gate under any kind of load. So the mini carabiners are more for being cute than anything practical (other than keys).These, on the other hand, are just over 3 inches long, but much thinner and weaker than real climbing carabiners, and I wouldn't put more than about 50 LBS on them for any length of time. The manual clearly states this model is not meant for any sort of climbing use. The hook does at least seem to be deep enough to engage the wire gate end loop, so they should hold up with some moderate weight long term.

Good quality carabiner, color is awesome bright Red stands outNice spring action on wire gateGreat value, will definitely purchase again

These appear to be high quality and are very useful size. Have not load tested but not expecting issues. Plan to order more.

These are nice and light carabiners, the size allows for larger gym attachments and the smooth opening keeps them from pinching your finger or snagging cloth. Overall these are very nice, however, due to the flat siding of them, I cannot use them directly on my cable system as they bind on the eye hook. They still look nice and are versatile enough for me to find other uses for but I had really hoped to use all four on my functional trainer.

Right away, you can tell they’re built well. The stainless steel spring gate feels strong and snaps closed cleanly every time. They’re lightweight but still feel sturdy in hand, which is exactly what you want when you’re clipping gear or setting up a hammock.I’ve used them for securing a hammock, attaching gear to my backpack, and even for a dog leash, and they’ve handled everything without any issues. The 15kN rating gives some extra peace of mind for heavier loads, though I still wouldn’t use them for climbing since they’re not designed for that.The wiregate design is smooth and easy to operate one-handed, even with gloves on. I also like that they don’t feel bulky—at 3.15 inches, they’re a great size for everyday carry without taking up too much space.If I had to point out a downside, it would be that the finish can show minor wear after heavy use, but that’s pretty normal for gear like this and doesn’t affect performance.Overall, these are reliable, versatile carabiners that do exactly what they’re supposed to do. Great value for the price and perfect for camping, hiking, or everyday utility use.

Muy buena calidad del producto. Las pruebas realizadas hasta ahora me han dejado más que satisfecho.

Se sienten muy robustos, aun no los pruebo para confirmarlo... pero al menos al tacto y vista creo que si lo son
