    These are good quality carabiner clips, made of heavy duty material. They feel really hard and strong and I don’t have to worry about them breaking when using the clips.

    I tested this on a garden swing where I needed new clips to replace a quite rusty pair connecting a swing to the frame. It works well. The narrow end isn’t too narrow that the swing rope wouldn’t fit, but isn’t too wide that it’s loose. The opening spring is quite strong which you would want as you don’t move it often, and it’s fine in wet weather as it’s stainless steel.

    These four carabiners are really heavy duty and non corroding. I’ve bought them to hang my hammock from a ceiling plate and also a punch bag. So handy for a variety of uses. Really strong too. Well pleased.

    I was slight taken aback upon receiving these clips at how big and chunky they were, but I am under no doubt that these will stand the test of time and definitely won’t break, nor will you lose your items clipped to it.

    The spring in the clip is on the firm side but this gives me the reassurance that anything I clip to it will remain clipped and won’t get lost. Heavy duty is an understatement.

    I got these to use in the motorhome for securing things in the garage. they clip into the D rings and allow bungees and ratchet straps to bew clipped on without having to pass all the strap through. so very easy. the spring on these is nice and strong, unlike some clips. there is a positive lock on them so when they are closed the harder something pulls against the ends the tighter the carabiner spring latch holods…. they are 316 SS. so not likely to rusty in the garage or when the bike comes in wet. i also use them to attach things to bike and to the clips on the sides of the garage… VERY USEFUL

    Very sturdy and strong spring

    These are high-quality carabiner clips. They are made of thick stainless steel. They are much heavier than I was expecting but at least I know they will be able to hold a lot of weight, without bending or giving way.

    These are good sized Carabiners that for me are to be used for the garden swing chair.

    Although listed as 316 stainless steel in the advert and on the small label attached to the plastic packaging, they are not stamped 316. They are however, bright polished and the spring on the closure is snappy.

    So for the price, worth a season of use at least.

    If I have something I want to hang loose, and have somewhere to hang it, Carabiner clips will probably be my first choice.
    The stainless steel clips are robust and perfect for use indoor or out and will hold a lot of weight. The spring is firm enough to stay in place but easy to open with one finger.
    I had no specific application in mind when I ordered these clips but I always like to have a couple at hand at all times. You never know when you’ll need one.
    Good quality, good value.

    These are decent quality and a good size for keyrings.

    The quality seems good, sometimes with these the pin for the pivot can be a bit loose which stops them shutting properly.

    I’m intending to use one of these to keep my toolbox keys together. Need to be able to keep them together but separate them individually for the separate locks.

    A set of durable and hefty carabiner clips.

    They are a little hefty to use as keychains, although they could work as such. I’ve used one to replace a dog lead catch that had rusted and it functions perfectly well. They’ll hold quite a bit of weight no problem.

    Overall high quality and well made clips.

    There’s not much to say about these. They’re pretty much what you’d expect from a fairly chunky clip — thicker and larger than the sort of thing you get on a typical rucksack, so suitable for heavier things. But they’re not so huge that you couldn’t use them with a dog lead. I’ve prodded and pulled them and they seem to be properly made and not inclined to fall apart.

    These are OK for domestic uses. I would not probably use for any marine jobs/tasks as the screw lock is not good quality (quite thin and flimsy) so if it seized up from salt water you would struggle to open with tools as will likely deform and make it impossible to open. These are weighty heavy duty stainless steel so feel good quality metal. The spring on the snaplock is strong so should last well, shame they are let down by the screw locks which are nowhere near the quality you would find on a climbing carrabiner as an example. They are quite useful though and would hold a punch bag or rope pulley system of some sorts around the home or seful to have for camping trips. Not suitable for any commercial purposes.

    These are very well made and constructed from durable, rust resistant materials. The locking mechanism is sturdy and the spring which allows you to open and then flip the locking part back in place is fitted sturdily into the carabiner housing.

    It’s ideal for clipping to your gazebo in order to attach para cord to and then to attach to your fence, stopping it from blowing away in strong winds. This is what I use it for. It’s highly unlikely that you’ll break or even damage these carabiners as they’re very tough.

    You can safely add your keys to it knowing that when you’ve correctly rotated the locking part into place, you’ll never have your keys fall off it accidentally, like some other inferior products do.

    They’ve got a bit of weight to them which is reassuring as they do feel/look like a quality item.

    They are a versatile bit of kit. I use one to clip to my works tool bag so I can secure my spirit level. Obviously they don’t just have to used exclusively for this reason though.

    I’d suggest that you can safely use them to attach any belongings to as they’re so we’ll made. The rust resistant nature of them does offer you some peace of mind if you plan to leave them outside in your garden all year round.

    The seller offers a worry free warranty with 180 day, no quibble replacement or refund. This is extra peace of mind for me as I know that I can have a free replacement delivered to me in the instance that the spring fails or the carabiner itself breaks, but I would suggest that the mention of it breaking isn’t something that these will do.

    The price tag is a little high though. 11.99 with a 5% discount voucher (which Amazon is offering at this time) still puts them at 11.49 for two. I’m pleasently surprised with the overall robustness of these and I can just sense that they won’t let me down and will last for years. For this reason I’ve got to say that they are value for money!

    Feel the weighted quality.

    These carabiner clips are certainly heavy duty and sturdy feeling.
    I would be completely happy to trust these holding my weight on a swing seat or something in the garden.
    As there is no covering screw to the latch, I maybe wouldn’t use it for anything where the latch could be accidently pushed open. That said, the latch feels sturdy and sits nicely so that it doesn’t go too far the wrong way and catch on the outside of the carabiner.
    Good, solid and useful.

    These are satisfyingly chunky and weight carabiners, certainly heftier than I was expecting (in a good way). My only very slight reservation is that the pins through the hinge at which the carabiner arm swings don’t look quite so convincing, and I can’t help but wonder how long they will last. But – so far, so good.

    Locking Carabiner Clip x 2.

    You are getting two heavy duty stainless steel locking carabiners. The carabiners have a rated breaking strength of 500lbs. Once the locking ring is secure, the clips can’t undo. You can use the clips for any number of uses. However I don’t believe these are designed for mounting climbing etc.

    These have some weight to them and are well built. Being rated with a workload limit of 540lbs (~245kg) they are perfect for use with cabled gym equipment and a range of gym attachments. Of course they have multiple applications of how they can be used, such as for a hammock or for hanging something which is fairly heavy with appropriate fittings and into something which is structurally sound.

    Maybe some people will think it is pricey for the quantity of two but to keep yourself and others safe depending on the application, the cost is very worthwhile. These most definitely aren’t cheap and cheerful carabiners used for water bottles. If you want something like that buy cheaper carabiners. These are for applications where the workload will be way higher and up to the specified limit. It would be complete overkill to used these with a water bottle or clipping something light on to a belt.

    I’m very confident that they are stainless steel although I’m not in a position to scientifically scrutinise the metallurgy.

    They seem quite well made.

    Critically speaking I have found some sharp edges and slight burrs. I’ve agonised over the number of stars to give. I will say it still bothers me to take away a star but I don’t like the design and finish, quite, enough for the full five.

    These have a good weight to them and seem to be well manufactured and robust. With a recommended usage limit of 500lbs but passed a 540lbs breaking stress test, these are idea for use on pulley gym equipment for most individuals. They can be used for other purposes too but for climbing and certain other activities you will be wanting something with the safety ratings stamped on the device. If certification is available for this product then they may be fine for climbing etc. Definitely overkill for using as a clip with a water bottle because far more cheaper alternative options would be the wiser choice.

    These ones have the locking function which functions smoothly on the two clips I received.

    These took me a bit by surprise as they were much larger than expected, however in my case this was an advantage. Measuring some 90mm long and 45 wide and constructed of 9mm stainless steel rod they are nothing if not substantial. The knurled locking sleeves turn smoothly on their threads and the hinges operate as they should with a positive spring return. I bought these to terminate the mooring lines on my narrowboat and they are more than up to the job, also as a member of the boating fraternity I’ve handed these around to other boaters who, like me, are equally impressed. I’d certainly recommend.

    You get two of the SEPWIK carabiners for around 11 so, for the quality of their build I think they are good value. These clips are made from 316 Stainless Steel which, as far as I know, is classed as “Marine Grade”. This is mainly because it has a greater resistance to corrosion so it can only be a good thing I reckon.

    The steel body of the carabiners is about 9mm thick and so will not give way to anything very readily. These are seriously strong clips ideally suited to heavy use, camping etc.

    The real strength of the carabiners is enhanced by the fact that they are lockable. A threaded sleeve screws over the carabiner’s jaw and firmly closes the clip securely. There’s a spring mechanism so the clip tends to hold itself in the closed position anyway. It is however possible to unlock the carabiners with one hand after a little practice. When the jaw of the carabiner is held fully open I measured the gap to be approximately 13mm.

    I think that these clips could be very highly relied upon to offer a really strong securing onto objects, rope, steel cable etc. They shouldn’t rust or corrode in the outdoors. They are deserving of a 5 Star rating.

    Really strong and safe carabiner clips for when you need a tough way to secure something.

    First impression:
    These are some quite large polished carabiners and are about 70mm x 35mm. The 10.5mm eye of the carabiner is pinched down 2mm to just over 8.5mm, so these carabiners are designed to accept a maximum 8mm rope or other steel fittings. All measurements are approximate. The shackle varies in thickness from 6.5mm at the eye to 6.85mm along the spine and the basket. This is due to the forming process but also as the inner face of the basket and the eye look to have been machined to size and are flattened and carry a few machining marks. This is particularly apparent on the eye, although machining is smooth.

    What I liked:
    High quality 316 stainless steel. I checked the magnetic field and there is hardly any except on the eye and slightly on the gate, which you can expect given the small radius of the eye bend. This means very little if any work hardening on most of the shackle, which I see quite often in 304, and due to 316 steel heat tolerance. This means that the steel is less brittle.
    The use of 316 means that this is particularly suited to marine environments where there can be salt corrosion. This steel is particularly corrosion resistant with a higher molybdenum content.

    Anything I didn’t like so much:
    Nothing really.

    Conclusion:
    These are some good carabiners with no sharp edges in the examples that I have and good for securing ropes and to pad eyes or other shackles. The lock works acceptably and the gate opens smoothly. I am very happy with the quality of these.

    Thanks for taking the time to read my review, I hope you found it helpful.

    Good stainless steel and smooth finishing. No sharp edges.

    The hinge on the gate is a little loose. If you look at the photos you can see there is a quite a lot of lateral play in the joint.
    The locking nut is a loose fit until you lock it into place.
    The gate only opens to 13mm because of the locking nut.
    There are a few sharp edges here and there to catch unwary fingers. More importantly if you are using this in a marine application you don’t want anything snagging on a rope at all. The issues are not really the gate lock at the nose, which is a little sharp, but some attached swarf from machining the lock into the nose of the shackle. At least the interior of the shackle is relative smooth where ropes might run, if a little too flat for my liking.

    Conclusion:
    These are some reasonably good carabiners, albeit a bit rough in places. The marketing claims are all reasonable, although how you would use these as a keyring is beyond me, unless your keys were for the tower of London. The lock works acceptably although you would not want to tighten it too much as you might damage the threads.

    Good stainless steel.

    First impression:
    These are some quite large polished carabiners and are about 90mm x 45mm. The 14mm eye of the carabiner is pinched down to just over 11mm, so these carabiners are designed to accept a maximum 10mm rope or other steel fittings. The shackle varies in thickness from 8.2mm at the eye to 8.7mm along the spine and the basket. This is due to the forming process but also as the inner face of the basket and the eye look to have been machined to size and are flattened and carry a few machining marks. There are no certification marks on the spine, but they are rarely carried on non-climbing carabiners.

    What I liked:
    High quality 316 stainless steel. I checked the magnetic field and there is hardly any except on the eye, which means very little if any work hardening, which I see quite often in 304, and due to 316 steel heat tolerance. This means that the steel is less brittle.
    The use of 316 means that this is particularly suited to marine environments where there can be salt corrosion. This steel is particularly corrosion resistant with a higher molybdenum content.

    Anything I didn’t like so much:
    There are a few sharp edges here and there. If you are using this in a marine setting you don’t want anything snagging of wearing a rope. The problem was really just some attached swarf from machining the lock into the nose of the shackle, and only on one carabiner. At least the interior of the shackle is relatively smooth where ropes might run, if a little too flat for my liking.

    Conclusion:
    These are some reasonably good carabiners and good for securing ropes and to pad eyes or other shackles. The lock works acceptably and the gate opens smoothly. I am happy with these but need to knock off some swarf and a few sharp points with a file first.

    Thanks for taking the time to read my review, I hope you found it helpful.

    Good stainless steel.
