Biner Dual Carabiner Plastic

Sometimes one finds a small gadget that may seem unworthy of reviewing, but it's so handy that it's worth coming back for more. This Nite Ize Double Gated Carabiner is just such a product. First discovered these in a camera store a few years ago, and they looked interesting enough to make get my first ones. I'm glad that I did, as they were my first, and since then I've purchased a number of them for various purposes, including here on Amazon when I saw them appear here. Since then I've bought a number of them, and have used these gadgets to attach a tripod to my photo backpack for quick release, for attaching items to a rack on the back of my mountain bike, as a replacement for the almost useless carabiner on water bottle lids, and as a handy belt-loop clip for temporary devices. The uses for these are only limited to your imagination. The S-Biner is a small, handy thing that is a sort of double-ended carabiner, constructed from "durable glass-filled nylon with 202 Stainless Steel wire gates" according to the manufacturer, and there are stainless steel versions, too. The hooks are slim and handy enough to use to attach to a variety of items, and if you don't like the black version, they make them in colors as well. The steel ones are constructed from "2Cr13 Stainless steel for the body and 202 Stainless steel for the wire gates" according to the manufacturer, and they're available in black, stainless or "spectrum" (multicolored) finish. It's hard to figure out what size might meet your needs, as I found out when trying to ordering a couple of these. As a result I went to the manufacturer's site and pulled down what is available, and will try to summarize here: Nylon (plastic) versions: * Size #0 , plastic - dimensions: 1.18" x .49" x .14", no weight rating. * Size #2 , plastic - dimensions: 2" x 1" x .3" weight rating: 10 lb. * Size #4 , plastic - dimensions: 3.5" x 1.5" x .3" weight rating: 25 lb. Stainless steel versions: * Size #1 - dimensions: 1.56" x .56" weight rating: 5 lb. * Size #2 - dimensions: 2" x .88" weight rating: 10 lb. * Size #3 - dimensions: 2.63" x 1.13" weight rating: 25 lb. * Size #4 - dimensions: 3.5" x 1.5" weight rating: 75 lb. * Size #5 - dimensions: 4.38" x 1.94" weight rating: 100 lb. They also offer a handy S-Biner Ahhh Carabiner Clip Bottle Opener , which is a double-ended gadget list like the regular S-biner gadgets except that it has a built-in bottle opener, and from first hand experience, it's good. There are a number of other innovative versions and styles, including a handy Nite Ize KeyRack Key Holder with S-Biners , with a stainless steel carabiner clip holding six different colored plastic S-Biners, and sized to hold 6 separate keys. Have that one in my camera bag most of the time. The packages warns that none of these, plastic or stainless, should be use for climbing or where "disengagement could result in bodily injury or property damage." Enough on that, but just let common sense prevail. On a personal note, just be sure that the gate spring properly engaged with the hook and you should have no problems. I've had no failures on mine. You could probably just use a garden-variety cheap aluminum carabiner as a substitute for these, but if you value your gear, these are well worth a look. Might suggest that if you're going to use them where they will result in metal-to-metal contact, the plastic versions might be a better choice. Have use both the #2 and #4 sizes with cycling and for photo use as noted above and so far they have held up admirably. After having bought a number of these both for personal use and as gifts for those who already seem to have everything, can only become one of the handiest gadgets that I've owned. Am calling the S-Biner a 5-star handy gadget... and I've just ordered more.

I have many S-biners from Nite Ize in a variety of sizes. Most are stainless steel. I appreciate them for their quality and durability. These plastic ones are good, too. Nice and sturdy with the same kind of wire-gate as the stainless steel version, just without the rubber sliding lock. I like this coyote color. I have one on my backpack and another on my Northface Basecamp Duffel. I use them for holding my keys, as the plastic is quiet. They would be useful for other purposes, as well. Highly recommend this company's products.

This particular size was quite large. However, this manufacturer makes high-quality products that are very useful for putting in a duffel or on a bag to tether items like keys or bags or straps. Well made and well constructed in all varieties, including plastic (like this one) or aluminum.

On a recent trip on the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon, I used these to hold my water bottle. While these biners work well for this purpose, I do wish that they were in a more visible color, like orange. These biners had a tendency to get lost on the boat. All the biners were on the boat at the end of the trip, and I will use them again, but I usually couldn't find them during the trip. Maybe paint will work.

These are very good attachments to put on walkers in the lakes to be able to hook things on and keep them safe

I’ve bought these several times. They work great and are secure

Use it on my travel backpack to carry water bottle and keep my zippers together and prevent others from easily accessing

Not real durable, but a practical one to place on backpack.

This is very useful it works smoothly.

excelente compra me gusto mucho y el producto llego bien

Made of plastic, basically attached to my backpack harness docent make a scene or a sound there when you need it, attach you keys or your water bottle or your mini sling. (personal scenario)

We bought two of these to hang our backpacks up when travelling on the Camino De Santiago. Essential for keeping your pack off the floor. They worked beautifully and only weigh an ounce or two each. Highly recommended.

Acheter pour remplacer le mousqueton d'origine d'un chronographe wenger, en fait c'est le même ^^
