This carabiner has been a top-selling product for over thirty years! In 1993 Fixe Hardware introduced the first steel bent-gate gym carabiner. The design has been updated and our steel wire-gate carabiner remains as popular as ever. This plated steel carabiner is popular for use on gym walls, fixed-draws on steep routes, lower-off anchors, top-roping, and anywhere you want a strong wear resistant carabiner. The wire-gate design eliminates the "sticky gates" syndrome and the captive bar (installed with an included allen key) prevents the carabiner from getting stolen or getting cross loaded. As a bonus, your rope will last longer and stay cleaner by eliminating aluminum carabiners.
