Recon Pro Carabiners (2-Pack): Ultralight High-Strength, Rust Proof, Aluminum Carabiner Set with Wide-Mouth Opening, Snag-Free Tether Connection & 5,600-lb Rating

great functional carabiner for those in need of a locking, heavy duty, high weight rating, large mouth opening carabiner for tree stands or other uses. we wanted this exact model for a short rope connecting the 2 pieces of a climbing tree stand together. this was the only one with a high load capacity and wide mouth that fit the bill. a bit pricey - but - was exactly what we wanted & needed!

Opt for hassle free packaging and these are easily a few bucks cheaper than every other carabiner. They are simply low glare black finish, not neon colors like most of my others, which makes them better for tree stand use, but they are perfectly suited for rock climbing or rappelling as well. Cheap enough to leave one on a tree strap in each stand (which is easier for me than hooking up every time).They are rated to 5k lbs, same or similar to most of my others, but are actually a hair lighter than the others as well. I like their slightly smaller size and more svelte construction and I'm planning on throwing a pair in my fire fighter turnout gear just in case I ever need them to rappel out of a burning building or during a rescue.

It is a little heavy ang big but I am looking for safety and that's what I am getting works great with my 3 ropes with my saddle

I really like my carabiners. I use them in my tree stands with my Hunter Safety System. Extremely strong and when connected to the eye bolt, will support me in a fall. I have tested it to make sure it will hold me if I fall.

These caribiners are wonderfully solid and really light (though not as light as others I own of a similar tolerance).My issue with them, and it's a significant one, is that the locking nut doesn't roll up as high as I'd like and only covers about a quarter-inch of the male portion of the gate--which means it doesn't take that much spin of the nut to unlock the clip. That's not a big problem for any kind of absolutely static use, but if you're going to be moving around while clipped-in I'd pay really close attention to the nut.

Well made. Very durable.

Very nice for the money. I am a high rise window cleaner and I use much more expensive carabiners at work on a daily basis. I bought these to leave in my hunting pack for my treestand harness. I was extremely impressed at the quality of them compared to the ones I use at work. Very good purchase!!
