FresKaro 15kN-3372lbs Heavy Duty Wiregate Carabiners, Reliable Time-Tested Stainless Steel Spring Gate, for Camping, Hiking, Hammocks, Backpacking, Dog Leash etc., 3.15inch

This is not my first FresKaro carabiner rodeo (I have bigger locking FresKaro offerings in my collection). These are handy little quick attachment/release gate clips. There are smaller versions of this, but I followed a review's advice and got these slightly larger and higher load rated ones. That was good advice. They are beautifully finished and should be more than enough for the light applications I intend - keys, and light hanging gizmos (like lanterns and even clocks). I would never trust my life to a wiregate carabiner. They are perfect for some applications, but not everything. It's all about quick attachment and release and light to moderate duty. Yes, they are rated for moderate loads on the long axis, but never compromise on climbing or gear safety or go near the stated limits. You have plenty of options with locking gates and specs. These are very nice and functional items, and I am very happy with them. It's a decent brand and good product at an affordable price. There, that's the whole story.

Carabiners for everyday use, traveling, camping, road trips. These are a great size and versatile. I have found them to be high quality and robust. They haven't bent or given me any trouble and I have had them for months already. The spring is strong and the clip style is one I really like. A great price for the pack as well!

I use these as color coded key chains, but they are good for almost anything (except climbing) . Compact size. The gates (latch) are crisp and snappy and close well. I hook them inside my pocket and never have to worry about losing key.

These are nice wire gate carabiners but what surprised me more than it should have was how small they are. Apparently the only models that are actually rated for any kind of heavy work like climbing are some of the larger locking carabiners, which are nearly 4 inches on the long side of the "D". With those, I can get all four fingers through and hold the long side. I usually wear medium or large men's gloves.With these, I can only get three fingers through to hold the long side of the "D" shape. Apparently these are really only meant for use with accessories or possibly holding a single-person hammock (if you are not too heavy). Honestly, I wouldn't really use them for that kind of purpose. But they work fine for clipping some boot chains onto my hiking pack.There is an even smaller model that is just under 3 inches in size, those are really only meant for something like keys or maybe attaching a 5-10 LB rolled up extension cable to a wire rack or something. They are actually a bit small for larger hands to even get the gate open without fiddling with it. And the hook isn't large enough to really engage with the wire gate under any kind of load. So the mini carabiners are more for being cute than anything practical (other than keys).These, on the other hand, are just over 3 inches long, but much thinner and weaker than real climbing carabiners, and I wouldn't put more than about 50 LBS on them for any length of time. The manual clearly states this model is not meant for any sort of climbing use. The hook does at least seem to be deep enough to engage the wire gate end loop, so they should hold up with some moderate weight long term.

Sturdy and gate works well. Just keep in mind that these are NOT meant for climbing

These are rated for climbing, but they are also handy for uses around the farm. I own about two dozen of these. Great price, great working strength, and low weight.

Very good product.Never had any issues with these.Will buy again.

I am not a climber so I can't give you a review on efficacy for that. I use these for lots of things: dog leashes, bottle clips, sunshade guyout, bring up gear in buckets, hammock hooks etc. Sturdy, strong and easy to use. The gate has held up for me with no issues. 5*
