The Rock Exotica RockD Auto-Lock Aluminum Carabiner in this non-lanyard version features a flattened shape with an i-beam profile at the bottom and top bends. This gives the carabiner a sleek profile, while providing low weight and high strength characteristics. This 3 stage auto-locking carabiner features a pull-down and twist action that is a motion more intuitive and natural for your hand than lifting up and away from your palm. The gate sleeve is designed with beveled edges to provide a smoother interior for interaction with the materials connected to the carabiner. Features include a narrow asymmetric "D" shape to optimize MBS, high strength-to-weight ratio in a standard size carabiner, and a snag-resistant keylock nose design. Large and ergonomic angled gate opening and machined frame ensures tight tolerances and smooth operation.
