DMM have taken their best loved Shadow karabiners and coloured them in! This is to reduce confusion on the rock and simplify systems, plus it adds some razzle dazzle to your rack! Each karabiner looks very different, even in poor lighting - making it easier to distinguish what is what. These are suited for climbers of all abilities, who want easy identification of kit.

A revolution in more ways than one! The DMM Revolver wire gated karabiner features a small wheel in the rope location groove. The result is a reduction in rope drag of up to 30%, which can, in effect, reduce the weight of your rope. A Revolver on your rack lets you reduce rope drag and make efficient mechanical advantage systems without the need for additional devices.

The DMM Revolver is certified for use as both a karabiner and a pulley. It is the same as DMM's standard Revolver karabiner, but it features a locking gate which provides extra security. There is a small wheel in the rope location groove to reduce rope drag, allowing the rope to run more efficiently through the karabiner. The Revolver is also highly useful for creating lightweight hauling systems. If you need to haul kit, a partner, or perform crevasse rescue, the pulley wheel increases the efficiency and converting more of your energy into movement.

The DMM Phantom HMS is an extremely compact and lightweight, yet strong karabiner with an optimised rope bearing surface that's ideally suited for belaying and rigging. The extra-short gate and slim tapering nose can easily take clove hitches and clipping slings.

The DMM Phantom is their ultimate trad and alpine screwgate Karabiner, and when you hold those 42 grams you will understand why! They claim they could have made it even lighter, but didn't want to compromise the handling or strength. As you can see from the specification below the strength is still impressive and the gate opening reasonable for a small D shaped karabiner.

The DMM PerfectO Straight Gate is a true oval, compact karabiner that maintains the ease of use (even one-handed). Its shape provides effective centring of loads and the fully rounded rope bearing areas increase carabiner and rope longevity.

The Beal Be Lock is a large HMS carabiner designed for easy use with double (halves and twins) rope systems. The large surface area provides easy control in all weather. The Be Lock is particularly suitable for HMS belays and double rope manoeuvres, such as capstan or half-capstan.

The Beal Be Safe is a HMS screwlock karabiner that's perfect for use with belay devices as it can accommodate two ropes at once, without the risk of them becoming overlapped in the event of a fall. The reception cradle ensures that the two ropes slide together and does not generate friction on the sides of the carabiner when the rope is braked. This is true whether rappelling or stopping a fall.

The DMM Spectre is an all-round carabiner for versatility and can be used across trad, sport, or winter climbing. They are full sized for ease of handling, while I-Beam construction and wire gates keep weight low. If you want one type of carabiner to cover all your climbing needs, you need an all-rounder. Wire gates are the lightest gate type available, and resist freezing shut in cold conditions. They are crucial in reducing the weight of your rack, and are ideal for trad, winter, and alpine climbing.

The Zodiac 12mm Keylock is DMM's flagship rigging karabiner. It's extremely strong and therefore suited to heavy use situations like heavy duty rigging, rescue loads and group instruction, where toughness and strength are key. The clean nose gate uses DMM's patented Taperlock design and their toughest barrel to give very strong gate open and side face strengths.

The Petzl Attache is a lightweight and compact, pear-shaped karabiner with as screw gate opening. It has multiple uses for belaying, such as connecting a belay system to a harness and belaying with a Munter hitch. It has a H-cross section to reduce weight, as well as the keylock system to avoid the karabiner snagging during manoeuvres.

The OCUN Condor HMS is a large karabiner that responds to the new trends of safety. Equipped with an independent internal wire gate that prevents it from rotating and guards against unwanted release from a belay loop, this karabiner ensures safe belaying and rappelling. The internal gate locks in the right direction and therefore prevents upward release. This means that the belayer can focus their full attention on the climber. The Condor brings a new level of safety into belaying.

The Petzl Sm'D represents a D-shaped carabiner with a locking mechanism, known for its lightweight and compact design. It finds utility across various scenarios, offering ease of handling even with gloves, and comes in two different locking system variations.
