Default Re: Alloy vs steel carabiners karabiners for tree work

Yeah my triple lock spat it's black spring/tab the one that snaps it shut, I picked up on it during a change over, It just didn't snap shut,as I listen for that then I visually check it, As you blokes know I am a Groudie and John does all the climbing, Well I have been learning to technicly climb, I mean this could have been enought to stop you from climbing if you were this way inclined, Me I just taged and baged it and reported it to the distribitor and sent it back for screw gates of a better brand, That's how it affected me I will never use anything but screw gates from now on, I was lucky it wasn't a major failure, But bad enought for a new climber learning to trust his gear!
