Edelrid
HMS Bulletproof Screw
The Edelrid HMS Bulletproof Screw is lighter than a full steel karabiner, this screwgate blends weight and durability by simply adding a still insert around the apex, improving resistance to wear. Whilst the basket isn't the biggest around, this HMS is great for its intended purposes- belaying or for setting up a top rope, or clipping into bolt hangars, as there are few carabiners as durable for the weight, which is also aided by the H-profile construction.
Petzl
Vertigo
Engineered for progression lanyards, the Petzl Vertigo (Twist-Lock) carabiner is equipped with an automatic locking system and exceptional grip, making it effortless to handle while navigating intermediate anchors. Thanks to its spacious aperture and the Keylock system, linking the connector becomes a simple task. When paired with the Captivo positioning bar, the Vertigo Twist-Lock can enhance proper carabiner loading along the major axis, minimising rotation risks and maintaining integration with the device.
Edelrid
HMS Strike Slider FG
The Edelrid HMS Strike Slider FG is a fantastic belay karabiner that provides solutions to the problems that climbers have with their belaying krabs. The use of i-beam or H-profile construction creates a lightweight HMS or Pear shaped biner which is designed to work perfectly with the assisted breaking Edelrid Jul, Mega Jul and Micro Jul belay devices but will work equally well with any other belay device.
Petzl
Ring Open
The Petzl Ring Open is a versatile connection point due to its gated opening system. This allows a range of equipment with sewn terminations or closed fixed attachment points to be installed. The round shape of the Ring allows optimal loading, making it a multi-directional peice of equipment for most system set-ups.
Black Diamond
GridLock Screwgate
Don't deal with a cross loaded belay karabiner again! The Black Diamond GridLock Screwgate is specifically designed for belaying, the Gridlock isolates the belay loop of a harness behind the uniquely shaped internal gate, thus keeping the karabiner in the correct orientation. The Gridlock is simple, easy to use and effective.
Maillon Rapide
Semi-circular
The Semi circular or half moon Maillon Rapide is ideal for securing caving harnesses, it is commonly used for the junction of 2 connecting points on a harness. Screw links are a lot more secure than karabiners so are essential if there's a possibility that the connector may be cross-loaded.
Finsterwalde

Double button locking with multiple safety mechanism and a breaking strength of 40kN. Paragliders are able to separate the pilot from his/her glider when using a dirigible rescue system.
