Tiny Carabiners

[Mark Bolam]

Can anyone recommend any really small carabiners? Couple of applications, clipping my Pantin closed and clipping a throwbag straight into a spliced eye.

Wouldn't have to be PPE rated, but all the 'accessory' carabiners I've tried have been crap.

None of the main suppliers on here seem to stock anything suitable, nothing below a DMM Sentinel size.

 

Wonder if one of the rock boys could help?

 

Dimensions would be good as well.

 

Thanks.

Try some stainless steel boating one's and some have smooth clips so dont snag on stuff, will try and get link to place I got some and D shackles.

Ive heard lego have come out with some lego sized crabs mate.... or you could try the new Ken and Barbie range of clip carabiners.

mark, i use the stein clips for attaching my throwbag to the spliced eye.

they seem pretty sturdy, i've only broken one in a few years of chucking it about.

only a couple of quid each. i'd go for the larger ones.

I've snapped a few of those on my Pantin Alex.

 

Benn you must have some sturdy little crabs that you could send me?

You must use something for hauling up your donuts and KFC buckets several times an hour?

I found these to be pretty robust:

im sure i saw some small carabiners at a show, rated to 150kg, these were tiny, similar size to those small stein ones. I think they were at jonesies but i could be wrong. Looked mighty handy. Sorry cant remember what make they were. edelrid? idk

I have been looking for the same for the same reason.

Those cheap karabiners always fail/deform under load because they do not have a pin and catch in the gate. The smallest I have found are wire gate crabs from the local climbing shop like this.
