Mini carabiners have been on the wish list for many Treetools customers for some time but we had difficulty sourcing one that could take about 150 kg of load and still be economically priced.
Many climbers tried the 'key ring' biners available from Mitre 10, Bunnings and the $2 Shop but found they were pretty much useless for everyday use - as soon as any load was applied the carabiner gave way - sometimes leaving your Harrison Rocket jammed in a crotch 40 meters up! Finally we found the right mini with Italian climbing gear manufacturer, Kong.
At only 50 mm high and 33 mm wide, a gate opening of 12 mm and a load rating of 150 kgit fits the bill perfectly. Other tool accessory carabiners from Treetools include the aluminum, snap-gate Mad Rock and the plastic Caritools (large andsmall ) from Petzl.
