Review on ๐Ÿ” Rothco 80mm Secure Lock Accessory Carabineer by Matthew Goyette

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not suitable for dog leashes or zip ties

I bought two of these to use to attach my dog's leashes to their 50ft cords on the outside. When I originally bought this the description said it was good for up to ยฃ80. The first dog I tried this on was my smaller pup. She weighs about 40 pounds. She broke this clip (while it was "locked") within 5 minutes of running back and forth while playing outdoors. Thank god I kept an eye on her upstairs and managed to catch her before she ran away. The lock does not stay in place. It spins freely and then falls down again. I don't see much point in a lock that moves that much. If the lock really worked, I don't think she could break out of that lock. The durability of this carabiner was incorrectly advertised but I see that description has now been removed. But for $5 I don't know what I expected. Just something strong enough to use on a dog leash. That's not what I ended up with. It's good keychain quality, but that's about it. I wouldn't recommend it for anything remotely strenuous.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • No power
