Oldest karabiner which you still use.

[Mick Dempsey]

I've still got some of my first ones from '94 used for tool strops and the like, they just move further down the chain.

Are you bored?

 

Apologies to darrin but just thought id point out another sardonic comment on an otherwise genuine thread.

It seems all too common on these pages lately.

Im out

I've some screwgates knocking around that are probably older than some climbers here.

 

 

Used for dog leads, emergency tow ropes in the wife's car etc - not in active service before anyone suggests....

 

I still use the 1970 Hiatt D screwgate with a loop of 1/2" cable laid nylon as an emergency tow rope in the veteran pug 206.

This is the first biner I ever owned

 

Its a DMM made for Field and Trek. I have owned it since 1987 but it wasn't new when it came to me, I have a pair of Bashlins of the same vintage but I am all out of three strand nylon.

 

Its currently in temporary (nostalgic) retirement.

Truly spoken joe ,It has more relevance on an Arb site than half the threads of total rubbish that appear and seem to get more prevalent by the day.

Ok then. Just thought it was a bit of a non thread. Didn't mean to offend anyone.

This thread caught my eye immediately.I agree with Matty that it is highly relevant to Arbtalk...Karabiners are such a personal thing and so vital to our life supporting climbing systems
