Omega Pacific ISO Cold Forged Jake 3-Stage Quik-Lok Carabiner

To be honest - the ISO Cold Forged Jake 3-Stage Quik-Lok Carabiner by Omega Pacific is one of the coolest carabiners on the market and - for years - has set the standard for HMS carabiners. To start with - its shape orients the load - predictably - where we want it every time. Other belay carabiners can be loaded on the nose of the ‘biner … a very dangerous situation. The Jake eliminated this problem through a superior design. It always centers your belay/rappel device so that in double-rope rappels - neither strand of rope is pinched on the spine - ensuring a smooth and predictable rap’. The Jake is also equipped with a truly unique side-swing gate which provides you with greater gate clearance and ease of use. Available with Screw gate - Quik-Lok or the 3-Stage Quik-Lok locking mechanisms.Specs: Gate Opening (mm/inch): 23 / .906 Major-Axis Strength: 23kN Gate Open Strength: 8kN Minor-Axis Strength: 10kN Weight (grams/ounces): 108 / 3.8 Length (mm/inch): 114.3 / 4.5 Width (mm/inch): 80.0 / 3.15
