Lots of folks including myself have used or use carabiners in the scenario you are talking about. From a technical safety guide standpoint it is not advised to do so. Just my opinion but that I am aware of the 2 biggest risk in that use is gate position and true cross loading. The gate should be on the high side so as to not be in a position to load the gate and dont use a carabiner on a tree that is small enough for the carabiner to get into a true cross loaded position. You dont want the carabiner to get in a postion to be bent over a radius. It is one of those is it an acceptable risk for you questions. If you are going to use something in an "out of spec" way, make sure you are aware of the the risk and/or potential hazards and be willing to accept the outcome. Dont just take an internet strangers word for it that its ok.It’s a big carabiner bigger than the delta it’s a fusion auto lock. Locks when you close it and you have to twist the gate to open

So what is the spec then? Having a sewn eye or a figure 8 on a bite through the loop?Lots of folks including myself have used or use carabiners in the scenario you are talking about.

Carabiner's instructions or safety sheet warn against using them in a fashion that would allow them to be cross loaded. There arent really any "specs" for what we do. That's why it is important for folks to understand the risk and how the gear we use is intended to be used, at least in regards to other climbing uses that have guidelines or rules. For example, rock climbers would never use a carabiner in a way so that is was cross loaded on a rock or hard edge, or at least shouldnt. Some arborist though will use a carabine for the same use you are looking at using it because in nearly all cases they, as we, are climbing trees large enough that the carabiner would be basically on a flat surface, not bent over an edge.So what is the spec then? Having a sewn eye or a figure 8 on a bite through the loop?
Yes it will.Does it break free good using the dyna glide? Looks like it will
