The HotForge Bent Gate Carabiner is a modern take on our classic keylock carabiner and is a smooth operator designed for the rope-end of a quickdraw. Its bent gate is super easy to clip and the carabiner also has a huge rope-bearing surface for ultra-durability. Featuring a hot-forged construction—allowing us to remove weight where it’s not needed and add material where durability is key—the HotForge has a deeper basket for better clipping, while the hinge-end basket is flatter to ensure the webbing of quickdraws stays put. The larger rope bearing surface adds durability not only for the carabiner, but for your rope as well, while the flats on the gate reduce the likelihood of the gate opening accidentally. Finally, we’ve updated and optimized the nose geometry to allow for efficient clipping and unclipping from bolts.

With carabiner clips instead of open hooks at each end, the KnotBone Adjustable Bungee not only attaches to your anchor points, it locks there. Instead of elastic that loses its stretch over time, it has a durable, high quality cord that threads through each end and adjusts in length. Once you have it adjusted to the right size, secure it in place with a simple wrap-and-lock motion. There are even small self-clipping plastic caps to the cord ends to keep them in place once you've got your load secured. No more pulling, stretching, and re-hooking to get the tension you want - job after individual job, the KnotBone Bungee stays right where you attach it, pulls securely to the exact length you need, and locks there.
