Whether you're looking to
buy a new carabiner or replace your old one, you'll want to find the right choice. The best way to do this is to look at the shape, weight and anodizing of the carabiner. These are the three key factors to consider when shopping for an aluminum carabiner. You'll also want to consider what type of gate you'll be using it with, such as a wire gate or a screw gate. This is important because the type of carabiner you'll be using can affect its strength.
Using anodizing aluminum carabiners can increase the life of your climbing gear. They're durable, have a metallic finish, and are great for attaching to a backpack or belt loop. Depending on your needs, you can even have your carabiner engraved.
While anodizing does not give you complete protection, it can help reduce corrosion. For example, it increases abrasion resistance and reduces drag.
Depending on what you are looking for, there are different shapes of aluminium carabiners. Choosing the right one for your needs will depend on the application.
The most basic and utilitarian shape is the oval. This shape is easy to use and does not interfere with other carabiners. It also works in bi-directional working load situations. This type of carabiner is inexpensive and has a low breaking strength.
If you are looking for a strong and versatile carabiner, you may want to consider D-shaped light alloy connectors. These connectors feature triple action locking that increases resistance. These types of carabiners are often used in rescue scenarios or industrial rigging.
Pear shaped carabiners are a popular choice for belaying and rappelling. They are also commonly used in multi-pitch climbing. These types of carabiners are typically heavier than D-shaped ones, but their large gate openings make them perfect for clipping gear together. They are often more expensive than D-shaped ones, though
