Their flat cross section is a really bad design since side loads bend it in that directing like bending a butter knife sideways. It's unrealistic to expect these things to never see side loading Even a standard medium quality 23kn aluminum oval carabiner will do 612 kg on a side load. See attachment from Petzl.com The stainless steel rescue carabiners will do allot more than this. Trying to keep your jack lines away from cleats and deck fittings is not that easy. Sorry for the drift Edited July 18 by 2flit Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dr Dave 5 Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 Should we start a new thread as it is an important area? Cheers Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
