DMM carabiners

[Peter]

I heard somewhere that DMM were bringing out a locksafe version of the Sentinel, the mini HMS shape I-beam biner.

That would be perfect for the hitch climber, as the Sentinel is even shorter than the OK, and I dont really like Petzl biners anyway.

Does anyone out there know anything about it or did I imagine the whole thing?

[ecolojim]

doesnt the hitchclimber use the oval symetrical OK biners?

 

in which case wouldnt you be best off with the DMM A327?

I could do with a couple of OKs or at least AM'D biners but finding them hard to find at a reasonable price. cant find anywhere stocking the DMM ones at all im afraid

Hello Jim

 

The A327 is exactly the kiddie, but is not available as a locksafe barrel at the moment. DMM are probably the sexiest (!*?) carabiners on the planet at this point in time & I'm forever amazed at how few people actually run with them. Especially when one starts to look seriously into system configuration & how different shaped carabiners are designed to be used relative to how we do use them. A sweeping generalisation I know; but colour does count for quite a lot;-)

 

If you can't find exactly what you need then cast you net a bit further & in a different direction. You'll find what you need.

 

Cheers

Nod, don't want to hijack this thread but I didn't get my extra ring for my treemotion when it arrived. I will ring you tomorrow.

I think I'm addicted to shiny things. I saw a three way locking revolver the other day and had to have it. Aluminium junkie... so sad.

If it's not already on the market, the Sentinel Locksafe will be available very soon. To my knowledge it is the shortest autolock HMS karabiner on the market and will benefit from a keylock nose in its' new form.

 

The top of a Hitch Climber system is a great place for a Sentinel Locksafe, I've been using a prototype there for a while and you can see that configuration in the Hitch Climbers' Guide to the Canopy (page 7). An oval is best used for the lower connections though (because of the loading pattern).
