Triple action karabiners

[Ross Turner]

What are the best triple action karabiners on the market.
Thanks.

 

[Stumper]

IMO-Omega Jakes( you have to specify the tri-acts. They make The Jake as a screwlock and 1/4 turn twist lock also)

I like petzl ball locks

 

[Lumberjack]

I am a petzel tri act man myself....


I like the all metal construction as opposed to the plastic sleeve on a ball lock.



Just my opinion.

Hey I got a ball lock and I just can't get my big mits to work it proper!
I use it on my chainsaw lanyard cause I don't take it off my belt to often.
I also find it gets gummed up with sap alot so it seems to be my high maintence biner!

I lkie almost anything that doens not have a toothed gate on it. Most of the teeth are cut in and will snag the yarns on a rope.

The mongoose is a large pear shaped DMM product. I like it for rigging and redirects, not saddle attatchment.

Hmmmm LOL Maybe I should Edit JPS's

[John Paul Sanborn]

That would be a task from hades, like carrying water in a seive.

I like the AM'D with the little green buttons. I find them to be easy to open one handed, and I agree with JPS- I am a proponent of the no-snag feature of the key-lock 'biners. I've seen them in Petzl, Kong, DMM and a few others. I don't know why you'd make it another way.

Sounds like a personal problem!

 

[JCSJC]

I like my Miller 17D-3, but whatcha expect from me.

I've got a few different brands, Petzl has always been best for me. Kong sucks I have 2 bought at the same time one died after about 2 months where the spring action no longer works to snap it closed. The other one just never seems a crisp as the petzls. I never forgave kong for that crappy biner, never will but kong biners again.

Okie, did you read that?!

Nick, I guess that there is some inside purpose for calling for David's attention. FWIW I have used a set of Kong "grenade gates for a couple of years. They were always reliable but a PAIN to try to open one-handed.

 

[NickfromWI]

Stumper, I took much practice to get my brain to open those grenade biners with little thinking.

I, too, had one break just like described.
