I ended up ordering one from EWO this morning, and it’s already on its way. I appreciate the insight.

For rappelling is it critical that the quick link be climbing rated/built by a climbing company? Safety isn’t something to go cheap on I know- but wouldn’t a 5,000 lb. steel towing screw link (found at auto parts and hardware stores) be equal for these purposes?

The 5mm ones from camp are rated to 25kn. They're not CE certified...but that's almost certaibly because you can't accomodate the CE-defined test mechanism (it wouldn't fit). I use one with oplux and it just barely fits. Also castration band works perfect to keep it in position (be sure to roll it over before descending.No prob, they even make ultraligth 5 mm ones that are stronger than aluminum carabiners.....but they are so small they look like you are hanging from a key chain! I won't do it.

You mean that 1/4” stainless steel “marine grade” delta rated at 4,950lbs? How much do you weigh?What delta link are you all using? I need to order another one, but what I’m finding on Amazon are all “marine grade”.

I have not noticed any abnormal wear.Seems like a tight bend on that Oplux. Does that worry you?
25kN is roughly 5600 # force. You can get 6000# rated oval links at the hardware store.
What's your guys thoughts on using one of the ones that came with the tree stands I purchased a while ago? They had a steel screw Delta where you attached your harness to the tree. My only complaint is they bound up easily, and often needed a tool to open even after I only closed it by hand. EWO has S.S. ones. Has anyone has issues with them binding up? The down fall to the steel being the corrosion sets fast on the bare metal.
There are zinc plated screw links from the major climbing gear companies. I bought one made by Mammut, paid for one and they sent a box of six by mistake!Every screw link from a climbing manufacturer I've seen is stainless.
It's only a few bucks, I'd get a new one from a climbing company.
