KONG Italy Paddle Bent Gate Carabiner – The Versatile Wide-Opening Snap HookDiscover the exceptional versatility and superior quality of the KONG Italy Paddle Bent Gate Snap Hook, a carabiner engineered to exceed expectations in a multitude of applications. Originally conceived for the specific purpose of securing a kayak paddle, this innovative aluminum connector quickly demonstrated its immense utility far beyond the water. Its standout feature, an impressively wide gate opening, has made it a preferred choice for climbers, riggers, and outdoor enthusiasts who require a reliable connection point for thicker ropes, multiple slings, or unconventional anchor points. This is a high-quality product that embodies Italian craftsmanship, being completely developed and produced in KONG´s historic factory in Italy, where every single piece is rigorously tested before it leaves the facility.The Paddle carabiner is designed for situations where a standard-sized gate just won't do. Its generous opening of less than 32 mm allows for effortless clipping and accommodates webbing, bulky gear, or multiple ropes with ease. The bent gate design further enhances its usability, creating a natural and fluid clipping action that can be performed quickly and efficiently, even when wearing gloves. This makes it ideal for the lead climber´s rope-end, for creating complex anchors, or for various uses in rescue and industrial rigging scenarios where speed and security are paramount. The asymmetric shape is not just for aesthetics, it is a crucial design element that intelligently directs the load along the major axis—the spine of the carabiner—thereby maximizing its strength and ensuring optimal performance under load.Safety and reliability are at the core of the KONG philosophy, and the Paddle carabiner is a testament to this commitment. The inclusion of the Keylock system on the nose of the carabiner provides a clean, snag-free profile. This eliminates the frustration of the carabiner catching on ropes, harnesses, gear loops, or bolt hangers, ensuring smooth and safe operation during critical moments. Every aspect of this carabiner, from its ergonomic shape to its robust construction, is geared towards providing the user with confidence. Holding full CE and UIAA certifications, it meets the highest international standards for safety in climbing and mountaineering equipment. Whether you are setting up a top-rope, building a multi-point anchor, or need a dependable connector for your work-at-height system, the KONG Paddle Bent Gate carabiner delivers unparalleled performance, strength, and the peace of mind that comes from using a piece of equipment tested to perfection.Specifications:- Certifications: CE EN 12275, UIAA- Material: Alu alloy- Main Axis Load (KN): 22- Minor Axis Load (KN): 8- Open Gate Load (KN): 7- Weight: 80 g- Shape: Asymmetric- Length: 116 mm- Width: 75 mm- Body Diameter: 12 mm- Gate Opening: 32 mm. tradeinn Trekkinn
