Outmate Premium Aluminum D-Ring Locking Carabiners (Pack of 6) - Lightweight & Durable for Hiking, Camping, Keychains, Dog Leashes & More - NOT for Climbing

I bought these to replace some old steel ones I had that were rusting. I got them as the "deal of the day" and after reading some of the reviews, I wasn't expecting much. Once I got the package, I noticed it was just a plain packaging and again thought..."oh well, they were not expensive". I opened up the package and I must say I was pleasantly surprised.These were not at all sharp as some reviewers had mentioned and they worked super smooth. They are amazingly lightweight and should be much stronger than my steel ones. Those could only hold up to 75lbs while these can hold up to 150 lbs. I did have a minor issue where the clasp does line up perfectly to close them but it's not enough of an issue to me. It only happened on 2 of the 6.The locking cylinder is very smooth and the spring seems solid. I really like the fact that these weigh next to nothing and will never rust. These will be used for light to mid-duty applications. I plan on using them mainly on my ATV adventures to hang some gear off of my front rack bag. There tends to be lots of water and mud so these will hold up much better than the steel ones. Overall, I would certainly buy these again.Pros:LightweightStrongSmooth operationExcellent priceCons:Clasps don't always line up perfect

I used these for camping in a couple ways, and they all bent open almost right away. Used one to connect a rope to a canoe, bent. Used one to connect a small dogs leash to a rope, bent. Used a couple for tarps, bent. Don't bother with these ones. They're super light, but certainly not strong at all.

Disappointed that specifications on box did not state any breaking capacity let alone 170pound capacity.Yes they are light but unsure if they can even hold 170pounds or 77kg for those metric folks.

It's a cheap, basic carabiner clip. Not much to it. The sturdiness is basic. I wouldn't trust it to hold more than 25 lbs. Its made of rough aluminum and a few of the clips had to be opened and closed numerous times to stop them from catching. But overall a cheap and light weight way to attach a hat, portable Bluetooth speaker, water bottle to your backpack. The locking system is a tube that screws up and stops the bar from opening. It seems to work fine and I've had no issues with it so far, but they also had to be worked in numerous times before they felt smooth.

I read the mixed reviews so wasn't certain if these would be any good. But on sale (lightning deal) the price was good and I knew that I could always return them with Amazon if they were complete junk.Well... Looks like a few folks had very different expectations than I did because these are great utility carabiners for the price. The carabiner is well made and well finished. The gate operates smoothly and the screw lock can be fully tightened eliminating any play in the gate. You could suspend 50lb safely on this carabiner (safe load is usually a third of max load) which expands its uses beyond carrying keys but I wouldn't put too much faith in load ratings on any carabiner like this. The size of the carabiner is just right too and at a quarter of the price of cheapest climbing carabiners, these are good deal when on sale, in my opinion. Just don't expect to use these for climbing or to suspend anything heavier than 40-50lbs.
