Review: Excellent carabiner that I use almost daily - Really like this carabiner. It’s built like a tank and the fit and finish is incredible. I like the captive bar a lot as I use it for my mechanical prusik devices for tree work. They’re a little pricey and not quite as light as some others. But it has to endure far more use and abuse from tree work than maybe some other uses.
Review: Best lanyard carabiner - This is my favorite lanyard carabiner. I used it to make positioning lanyard for work and its been greate so far.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent carabiner that I use almost daily
*by D***N on May 17, 2025*

Really like this carabiner. It’s built like a tank and the fit and finish is incredible. I like the captive bar a lot as I use it for my mechanical prusik devices for tree work.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best lanyard carabiner
*by J***N on July 24, 2025*

This is my favorite lanyard carabiner. I used it to make positioning lanyard for work and its been greate so far.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Push down Tri-Lock Carabiner
*by D***. on June 1, 2022*

I like the design of this carabiner because it’s not the awkward push up. To me it’s one of the most underrated ergonomic carabiner. It is rated for climbing and made in the USA. I used it as a carabiner on my personal lanyard and it works well. I can clip in my harness loop and easily unclip with one hand.
