Safest Carabiner

[Darrin Turnbull]

 

Which is your safest karabiner. I think mine would be the Petzl ball lock.

 

Or is there something new coming out. DMM perhaps

Being reletivley new to tree work,the dmm triple locking are the only ones ive used.Never had a problem with them.

Ive seen the ball locks but i couldnt say which on is safer in tree

[Ian Clarke]

dmm would be my choice. ive used the petzl ball locks when working on a go ape style tree top trail course in a previous career. I found they did not last well for long and regulary got gummed up.

 

but any karabiner kept in good condition will be safe. it comes down to personal preference.

Does that have the barrell at the bottom like the dmm revolver?

I try to use my revolver at the TIP combined with zigzag as often as poss,really smooth.

Once upon a time we had screwgate, then along came first double and then triple action biners which became the weapon of choice as recommended by out masters at the HSE.

 

Then in no time at all said HSE were issuing safety alerts that the new safer biners could open in use and might not be the bogs danglies after all

 

The safest biner is the one you take care of
