tight hole in my new yale!!

Its not best practice to use steel krabs as if they corrode (unlikely with constant rubbing of the rope) they can weaken the rope.

Thats a new 1 to me. Where did you learn this? sounds very interesting.

 

A tight eye splice holds the karabiner captive preventing it from sloping around & un-doing the gate. A little care may be needed when attaching but i have not yet seen some1 manage to snag the rope doing so and i must have inspected a tight eye over 1000 time's. If this Yale splice really is too tight then take it up with the retailer.
