What carabiner for rappelling rope?

[devildog]

Last year I used a Petzl triangle quick-link on my rappel rope for one sticking, but this year I wanted to give a carabiner a try. I have a steel blackdiamond screwgate but it is really heavy. Do you guys recommend any other carabiner for one sticking . Please let's not get into why not to us carabiners to rappel discussion.

Stick with Petzl.
I like 'em a lot. They have a pile of options and I really like the red ring on them to show when they're not locked.

I'd recommend Black Diamond Vaporlocks they specify use for munter hitch rappels. I've used these on lots of rappels and really like em.
The Black Diamond Mini Pearabiners work great too (similar design as the Vaporlock in a smaller package).

I used the steel BD screw gate, or the steel Sterling Screw Lock, all last year to rappel with no issue. I found that the extra weight of them is also beneficial when it comes time for retrieval.

D shaped carabiners are the strongest shape and they usually set better against the tree. SMC makes the “Force” tatical D carabiners in two very awesome colors. They are my go to in most carabiner situations. Pretty light (2.6oz) good color and 31kN [6975 lbs] tensile strength!

This DMM is nice and small, it also triple locks for safety and has the pin that keeps the rope in position.

I think He’s asking for recommendation on carabiner to use at the end of his rappel rope similar to how people use the screw gate delta links etc.
