What carabiner are you using ???

[Curdog10]

I'm looking for something light. Mine are steel and heavy.

Not sure on weight savings but I like the Black Diamond Rock Lock. I prefer the size of the Rock Lock to any others I have used.

Before I got my saddle I bought three black diamonds not sure what series they were they were the Screw shut type aluminum but when I got my kestrel it came with fusion half turn spring loaded style aluminum and I absolutely love them I may be selling some black diamond Screw shut style ones in the future and switching everything to the fusion

I really wish more hardware like biners and Ropeman were available with flat finishes and neutral colors like green or grey or dark earth.

I've been using Petzl Tri Act for 13+ years. Love them.

Thanks guys I'll be looking these up .

While I like and use the Fusion auto-locker above, I'm starting to love the little Metolius Bravo. It's a screw gate but crazy small and light. About half the weight of the Fusion above and just slightly bigger than a Ropeman.

Great topic. Not sure what I use, wrapped in grip tape. They are screw gate and I hate that. Seems they constantly turn a little and always find myself needing them free to hook in and they won't. Gonna look at the fusion posted above.

If you want lightweight ... lightest on the market is the Grivel Plume Screwgate. But, check out the twin gate design. This is an auto locker. You can't mess it up. With a screwgate you can forget to screw it shut. Also under some rare cases screwgates have been known to unscrew.

I use the Black Diamond Positron screwgates. I have been really happy with them. They're on the smaller size but not so small as the gate opening or gripping become a problem.

So after checking into it I found out I to have the black diamond positron I wasn't sure what model I had I was just wondering if any other of you positron users have any issues with the internal steel snap ring rusting and then squeaking when you turn it in or out as soon as mine got wet for the first time they started squeaking like crazy.

I have the same oil that does work good I was just curious to see if anyone else was having the same issue.

Black Diamond Magnetron
Edelrid Slidelock
Grivel Twin Gate

All these are auto-lockers with no twisting. They are as silent as it get's. I prefer the Grivel Plume twin gate at 37g.
