Smallest carabiner
- Thread starter Exhumis
- Start date
Ange S it's like 25 grams and can't be opened by the tree. I love it.
Thanks for all the suggestions, picked up a Notch micro, this thing is tiny. I thought my Metolius was small - nah it’s huge compared to these.
Thanks for the comparison pic. Those are tiny.
Those are rated for about 800 lbs. if I'm remembering correctly?
@bowhunthard88 is right. 4 KN on major axis compared to 15-24 KN for others. I would beware depending on your application

@Exhumis That Notch Micro is small as hell but 4kN ain’t $4!+. I personally wouldn’t climb on 4kN and I’m a wee Hobbit of a man.
I just had my mitts on a Metolius Bravo at REI yesterday, it’s even smaller than the Metolius Element you posted and it’s lighter than your prusik cord almost. $12 and it’s rated to 24kN major axis with a screw lock or wiregate.

C’mon man, where’s your sense of adventure?! lol. . I’ll only be using the notch on my 2tc rig for the thigh connection but I’ll keep that in mind.
But Hobbits historically avoid adventure!
I guess a RM1 isn’t much better rating so I could eat my words on my LB setup. There Gandalf, adventure.
I do use a Rock Exotica RockX carabiner for my SRT footloop. Actually rated at 5kN which isn't too bad for an accessory biner...

Hopefully you're using this to haul a bow up or such. Theoretically it doesn't have a SWL since it isn't PPE. But the safe working load of the Notch Micro is 180lbs!

. I am lucky enough to live 15mins from there!!
Terrible perspective shots but it’s the best I could do from the tree. Told y’all I’d been eyeing this, had the Mrs. pick one up while she was doing Xmas exchanges in the big city. It’s tiny alright. I’ll have to find a Bic lighter like @enkriss did, but the pot call and the fact that it completely fits inside my BD locker should indicate the teeniness of this bad boy.
What store had them on the shelf?
