VANWALK Lightweight and Strong Aluminum, Best for Hammock Suspension - Fits All Hammocks, Clipping On Camping Accessories,Multifunctional Outdoor Sports Carabiner Buckle (Pair)

I bought these for my hammock. I have a DD Hammocks Frontline XL that I use for camping. Since I can’t always find two trees that are the proper distance apart, I built a hammock stand. I’ve attached one of the carabiners to each side of the stand. I use whoopie slings for my suspension, so I hook one of the end loops of the suspension, to each of the carabiners, for quick setup and take down. Although I would never use these for rappelling or rock climbing, they work great for my use of them. The spring is easy to operate one handed and secure enough for hammock suspension. I’ve attached one of them to each side my stand using loops made from 1” wide polyester webbing. The webbing has a tensile strength of 1,500 pounds, so the two together are more than strong enough to hold my 225 pounds. My stand breaks down into roughly 4’ sections for transportation. So, it’s certainly not backpackable, but it fits in the back of my truck, or the trunk of my car, just fine. The webbing allows me to leave the carabiners securely attached to the stand for transportation and setup. For the price I paid for them, I’ll be buying four more, very soon. I can think of several uses for these small, but strong carabiners.

I got these to use with a hammock and I was a bit skeptical about these being able to support me (as I am a larger fella) because they're so light and look like they would just bend out of shape and break, but these things did the trick and held up great with no sign or sound of stress, I literally put my life in the "hands" of these carabiners and lived! =)

I bought these because I want some quality carabiners, but consider the rock climbing stuff unnecessarily expensive and heavy for my purposes. I noticed that most cheap carbiners are extremely weak for their size: if they're rated at all, it's only to withstand maybe two hundred pounds of force per ounce of carabiner. Rock climbing carabiners, on the other hand, are rated to withstand over two *thousand* pounds of force per ounce of carabiner.These Vanwalk units are less than half the weight and (at the time of this writing) about 1/4 the price of typical climbing carabiners, but claim to be just as strong. I don't necessarily believe that, but they're definitely way stronger than the cheap stuff, and should work well for anything that won't overload paracord.I bought a 4 pack of the wire gate model, and another 4 pack of the screw lock model (both in black). I weighed them and they are as light as advertised: 0.7 ounces (20 grams) for each wire gate unit, and 1.0 ounce (28 grams) for each screw lock unit. They have the same 3D curved shape and reinforcing ridges as climbing models, unlike most cheap carabiners.The wire gate spring tension is reasonably strong, but not enough to make it hard to open. It doesn't feel like it can easily break, pop out, or twist out of place. The screw lock is aluminum, I think, and is a bit squeaky. Because aluminum is rather soft (compared to steel), the threads may be vulnerable to damage if you got sand in them or something. Nevertheless, the screw lock seems well made and is reasonably smooth, with good stops at each end of its range of travel.On the whole, I consider these to be a great deal for general use, including securing moderately heavy loads - up to several hundred pounds. Just don't trust them to catch you in a fall while climbing, as they're too light for that.

High quality, lightweight carabiners. These are very light. I would not trust my life to one hanging on a mountain, but you would never catch me doing that anyway. I'm a sailor and these are handy to attach to various items like a hand-held VHF radio and other things I need to quickly attach or detach from my life vest. I have two set up for use with a hammock on my boat, and with a few lashings in the right place I can rig or unrig that in seconds.Handy, Useful, cheap. I wish I bought two packages.

These carabiners by Vanwalk are 5 stars. Well made, solid and very sturdy for multiple carabiner uses. I use them for holding vineyard and garden tools on my belt while working the farm. (Idea credit for this goes to Cody at Wranglerstar.) Excellent with tool lanyards or with sheaths. Allows you to carry the tool lower than on your belt for easier access and carry. I use them to carry: 1) clipper/shears in sheath, 2) small folding saw on a lanyard, 3) garden knife in sheath and 4) a utility knife on a lanyard. Can be used on belt or 5 gallon bucket or tool bag/back pack for each access and use of these everyday farm tools. These are top quality carabiners and I highly recommend.

These worked great. I bought them to replace the carabiners that came with my hammock to lighten the load a bit and get rid of the sharp edges, and I liked them so much, I bought a few more to use on my key chain, my hydroflask, and just have a couple extra hanging on my backpack just in case.

These are a great upgrade for Hammocks that come with the carabiners that have the sharp edges. Lite weight and strong support!.

Got these for another hammock. Works perfectly. Very happy.
