Yes, old carabiners are safe. While it is always important to inspect your gear before using it, carabiners do not have an expiration date. That being said, it is important to retire any carabiner that shows signs of wear or damage, as it could fail when you need it most.
There is some debate over whether or not wire gate carabiners are as safe as traditional carabiners. Wire gates are less likely to become jammed than traditional carabiners, but some argue that they are more likely to fail under load. Ultimately, it is up to the individual to decide which type of carabiner is best for their needs.
No, climbing carabiners do not expire. However, it is important to inspect them regularly for wear and tear, as well as to ensure that the locking mechanism is still functioning properly.

I needed a strong clip for my spare keys as well as an earphone protection for my Bluetooth headphones. The issue was that the less expensive light ones were either fragile or too wide or little to fit through the loop.I tried the multicolored ones, but they are somewhat too large. They work fine, however the closing mechanism is flimsy, and it might not fully close after usage. A catastrophe is losing $180 worth of earbuds because the locking mechanism is faulty.I experiment with the S-shaped clips with the additional twisting clip that stops the opening. These are sturdy, however they are difficult to use, and the little locking mechanism occasionally becomes stuck. The S Biner is attractive, but the simple locking mechanism is difficult to unlock.I don't need a weapon that can support 1,200 pounds falling from a cliff, nor did I need the enormous carabine. Simple, well-made carabiner-style clip.These seem to fit just well. They arrive in a classy package with steel key rings that are circular but flattened.The clip is expertly created. A excellent spring motion and size. It includes a reliable locking mechanism that is simple to open and take off of a belt loop.For my keys and earbud case, a decent price and a good product.

These assist me in securing loads to flat bed utility trailers together with tie-down straps. The old-fashioned oval design prevents the web strap from bunching up as much as it might with D-shaped carabiners. Using this can eliminate the need to twist the tie-down strap, depending on how the hook is positioned on the strap. Compared to standard steel tie-down rigging equipment, this is lighter, simpler to operate, and more fun overall. They are ideal for light-duty straps, such as those used for bikes, lawnmowers, etc., due to their 3000 lbs rating. I use motorcycle "soft straps" and many carabiners around the trailer frame rails for hauling brush. I then snake the long rope back and forth over the brush. This makes it simple for the rope to pass through them and tighten the brush load, making it safe.

These were only purchased for one use.A rubber strap that functions as a connector cap holds the standard trailer wiring harness on a new Subaru to the hitch. (see image)The Subaru concept is absurd, of course. How well does rubber withstand the elements?Instead of the rubber cap or strap, I utilized this stainless steel carabiner as the clip to hold the connector to the hitch.(As a side note, this is stainless steel and should have a little magnetic attraction.)Simply connect the cable with the carabiner, then fasten it to the hitch.Voila!PS: This will still work even if your rubber strap has already failed (they all do).To secure the carabiner to the cable, just use a zip tie.

I adore this understated video. I use it because my warehouse is a tad dusty to attach my backpack to something off the ground. Although I don't carry a lot in my bag, it's fantastic to have something strong enough to support it. I really like how this is both a hook and a clip because it alters how handy one baggie can be.It is quite simple to use, and you can tell that the materials are of a high caliber. The packaging's instructions were a little difficult to read, but once you did, it was quite simple to figure out. Although the price is a little excessive, the quality is fortunately comparable, and it truly is a one-hook solution for many issues.In order for my partner and I to use these clips anytime we need them while out and about, I bought two of them: one for my backpack and the other for inside my carry pouch.A 5/10/2019 update:About every a week, I've been using this hero clip, and it's still excellent. Although I still worry that it would fall off, I usually set it down on a stationary place because it has come in quite handy around my office and warehouse. I use it with my work bag and sling, and I appreciate being able to create my own hanging hook. I no longer even consider this to be a carabineer; instead, I think it deserves its own category because of how valuable it is.

There are times when one finds a small device that might not appear deserving of a review, but it is so useful that it makes the search worthwhile. Such a product is the Nite Ize Double Gated Carabiner.A few years back, I first saw these in a camera store, and I decided to buy my first pair since they seemed intriguing. I'm pleased I did because they were my first. Since then, I've bought several of them for a variety of uses, including when I saw them on Amazon. Since then, I've purchased several of them, and I've used them to replace the nearly useless carabiner on water bottle lids and as a convenient belt-loop clip for temporary devices, as well as to attach a tripod to my photo backpack for quick release and to attach items to a rack on the back of my mountain bike. Your imagination is the only restriction on how you can utilize these.The S-Biner is a tiny, useful item that resembles a double-ended carabiner. According to the manufacturer, it is made of "durable glass-filled nylon with 202 stainless steel wire gates," though there are stainless steel variants as well. If you don't like the black version, they also produce them in other colors. The hooks are small and practical enough to use to connect to a number of goods. According to the manufacturer, the steel ones come in black, stainless, or "spectrum" (multicolored) finishes and are made of "2Cr13 Stainless steel for the body and 202 Stainless steel for the wire gates."As I discovered when attempting to acquire a few of them, it can be challenging to determine what size might best suit your needs. As a result, I visited the manufacturer's website and downloaded what was there; I'll try to summarize everything here.Plastic and nylon variations:* Plastic, size #0; no weight rating; dimensions: 1.18" x.49" x.14".Plastic size #2; dimensions: 2" x 1" x.3"; weight capacity: 10 lb.* Plastic, size #4; 25 lb weight capacity; dimensions: 3.5" x 1.5" x.3".Versions in stainless steel:* Size #1 weighs 5 kg and has dimensions of 1.56" x.56".Size #2 measures 2" x.88" and weighs 10 lb.*Size #3: 2.63" x 1.13"; 25 lb weight capacity.* Size #4: 75 lb weight capacity, 3.5" x 1.5" dimensions. Size #5: 4.38" x 1.94"; weight capacity: 100 lbThey also provide a useful S-Biner Ahhh Carabiner Clip Bottle Opener, which is similar to the usual S-biner gadgets in that it has two ends but also includes a bottle opener. I've used it and it works well. Other unique variations and designs are available, such as the practical Nite Ize KeyRack Key Holder with S-Biners, which has a stainless steel carabiner clip holding six different colored plastic S-Biners and is large enough to store six different keys. I typically carry that one in my camera bag.None of these, whether made of plastic or stainless steel, should be used for climbing or anywhere where "disengagement could result in bodily injury or property damage," according to the packaging. I'll stop talking about that now; just let common sense win. In my experience, all you need to do to avoid issues is make sure the gate spring is firmly seated on the hook. No failures have occurred on mine. These could certainly be replaced with a standard, inexpensive aluminum carabiner, but if you respect your goods, these are definitely worth a look. Might imply that the plastic versions might be a better option if you want to use them in situations where they will cause metal-to-metal contact. As mentioned above, I have used both the #2 and #4 sizes for cycling and for photo purposes, and so far they have held up remarkably well.Can only become one of the handiest devices I've owned after purchasing a few of these for both personal usage and gifts for people who already appear to have everything. I give the S-Biner five stars as a useful tool, and I've already ordered more.

The enormous red carabiner with the vacuum line in it on the left in the picture is one I purchased from my neighborhood hardware shop, NOT the Coghlan's. The tiny red carabiners on the right are the Coghlan's carabiners. They barely fit on the square closet rod; according to other reviewers, they won't fit on normal closet rods. If so, that is a serious drawback. As you can see, I am hanging a backpack and shopping bags from mine. incredibly useful for that! However, I like the bigger size, which I was unable to get on Amazon. Be mindful that the Coghlan's may not be sufficient for your requirements. I don't know how long the hinges will last because I don't often need to open mine to retrieve anything.

As a result, I haven't actually used either of the two smaller 'biners, so I can't vouch for their effectiveness, although upon visual inspection they appear to be of the same quality construction as the large one, though obviously not rated for the same weight. I only ordered this 3-pack because I wanted the large (#4) size 'biner and I found that a single #4 was selling for more than the 3-pack.However, I have no reservations whatsoever about wholeheartedly and heartily recommending the #4 S-Biner. I previously owned one of these and often only use it to secure my keys to my ACU belt loop, but on one occasion in particular, I utilized it to support my weight (148 lbs) in an emergency circumstance along with around 10' of 550 paracord that I dug out of my boots. I can personally testify that the #4 'biner will hold 148 lbs even though it is only rated to hold 75 lbs because there are no signs of stress cracking or bending. If not actually carried on your person every day like I do, this S-Biner with a length of 550 paracord can genuinely be a lifesaver and should at the very least be included in any BOB kit.I've seen other reviewers' complaints about their keys and other items falling off the 'biner, and while I can imagine situations in which this would happen, I can honestly state that in after three years of daily use, I have never personally experienced this. So, assume that it's possible, but if you're paying attention to how you're using it, I think it's fairly improbable.I wholeheartedly advise everyone to use the #4 S-Biner.Here are a few technical specifications as it can be difficult to locate them on Amazon:The #4 S-Biner measures 3-1/2" length by 1-1/2" broad and is rated to 75 lbs.#3 S-Biner: 2-5/8" long x 1-1/8" broad, rated to 25 lbs.#2 S-Biner: 2" long by 7/8" broad, rated to 10 lbs.

A carabiner is a metal loop with a spring-loaded gate, used to quickly and reversibly connect components in climbing, rappelling, and other outdoor activities. Carabiners are made from either aluminum, steel, or a combination of the two. To find out if your carabiner is rated for climbing, check the label or markings on the carabiner. Most carabiners will have a symbol that indicates whether or not the carabiner is meant for climbing. If you're unsure, you can also check the carabiner's
There is no definitive answer to this question as the amount of force generated by a lead fall will vary depending on a number of factors, including the height of the fall, the weight of the person falling, and the type of surface on which the person lands. However, as a general guide, a lead fall from a height of 10 metres (32 feet) onto a hard surface is likely to generate a force of around 10 kN (2,200 lbf).
A 12 kN carabiner can hold a maximum weight of 2,268 lbs or 1,034 kg.
A 20 kN carabiner can hold a maximum weight of 20,000 Newton’s. This is the equivalent of 4,536 pounds or 2,268 kilograms.
The Black Diamond Miniwire carabiner can hold up to 7 kN (1,585 lbf) of weight.
A Black Diamond carabiner can hold quite a lot of weight, depending on the size and type of carabiner. The gates also play a big role in how much weight a carabiner can hold. A Black Diamond carabiner that is properly sized and has a strong gate can hold upwards of 25 kN, or 5,500 lbf.
