Heavy Duty XINDA Screwgate Locking Carabiner Clip For Rock Climbing, Mountaineering, Hammock & Camping Outdoor Equipment Review

I have used high quality rescue equipment in the past, including locking screwgate carabiners like this, although I am not familiar with this brand. This product seems to be of high quality and should work well for my purpose of securing my fall-arrest harness to the tree while deer hunting from a ladder stand. Short of actually lab testing these, I can’t guarantee they will hold up in a real world fall, but these look like the real deal.

I haven't used these for climbing but I wanted some better carabineers for home gym equipment. Things like pulley systems on power racks and belt squat attachments. These are much better than the normal stainless steel hardware store carabineers that can pinch and cut your skin if you're not careful. Immediately bought a few more for things like hanging a Muay Thai bag on (150 lbs) and just to have extra for any future use!

These are really nice carabiners. Study. Surprisingly lightweight. The twisting mechanism spins easily, but not so that it will loosen. Actually had the opposite where I wanted them open, but they kept locking, which isn't a bad thing. However, they were a little larger than I needed them for. I knew the dimensions when I ordered and thought they would work, but it person, unfortunately they did not. But I would still recommend these for people looking for locking carabiners.

Highly recommend these biners. When I first got them I was very cautious so I tested one for myself and I'm telling you now I trust my life to these binders I use these for climbing/rappelling very trustworthy very strong highly recommend these just as good as any other biner on the market my only regret is I should have got more I gave them 5 starts out of 5 because thats all the satrs they had

I like the lightweight and sturdiness. I belong to a Search and Rescue team. These are essential equipment Thanks for attention.

Over it works fine. Sometimes the screw lock turns so easy when it is unlocked that it moves and gets in the way of connecting the carabiner clip when you don't want it to be locked. I'm a rookie on using a carabiner clip so I may be missing something.

Bought these for my hammock camping setup. they are overkill. I wouldn't climb with em, not just because they are made in china, but the locks don't really go up as far as I'd like.

I purchased to use on my Jet ski to lift it off the trailer so I can polish/wax the underneath. These are perfect and hold the weight without issue. I have not used them for climbing but they are rated for this. I will purchase a few more for my hiking trips.

I provide long distance transport for large breed dogs going into rescue. Managing dogs, keys, wallet, phone, poop bags, water, food. or some combo of above is a lot. especially on the interstate with unfamiliar doggies.These carabiners are the real deal and are worth every penny. I bought and recommend this larger size. Note the very trustworthy, easy to use locking mechanism. this feature alone makes them worth every penny.This item, paired with the Nite Ize "Cinch A Lot" stretch strap(s)…

Product works as advertised locking mechanism turns easily and smoothly. Will give it another star once I've used it under heavy load conditions plus 500 lbs hanging weight and retest the locking mechanism.

Light weight as advertised. Smooth gate action. Very promising. Will update as I get more use in the field. That's my feedback.

Well I’m not using for climbing - no time with kids. but cannot tell difference compared to those on my climbing rack from college days.Used for ninja line and hammock hanging in backyard. And just generally around the house. For the price paid it far far far exceeds what is available at home depot. For reference ninja line peeled open a 3/8 stainless steel eye hook when I stood on it (line under tension plus my dynamic weight) - no prob with this carabiner same load.

I'm using these to hang a hamic in my garage. They seam well maid. Sometimes my thumb will rotate the screw locking it when i am trying to open the carabiner, but ones locked the screw will not come undone on its own. Its a well designed product.

Rated for the same kn. workload that the steel heavier ones are so why not? I like being lighter weight when I'm climbing around.

I have climbed with this a few times as a belay carabiner and at the top of lead climbs with quickdraws. They worked fine as a belaying carabiner but are pretty bulky and have a tight spring to clip into on lead.Curiosity got the best of me when i started to research if it had an UIAA rating to go with the EN12275 rating and i couldnt find one for this specific model. I put one on a tensile test machine and it broke at 25.8kN. The screwgate broke first after yielding about 1/4", as expected, so

I am impressed by the weight of these carabiners. Carrying a lot of gear on sport climbs can be cumbersome when the weight starts to add up, so every little ounce of weight counts. I personally prefer screw gate carabiners, so these were a nice affordable find and they look so slick! Further, I appreciate the pre-groove to encourage rope movement in the appropriate area. As I have only used them twice, I cannot really comment on durability, but I am sure by the end of the season I will have…

I’m not using this for mountain climbing or anything just hanging essential things while hiking or camping it’s a big size really nice love the colors and expensive

Saved my gear, worked great in fine sand, had to rinse it out a few times over a few weeks in the Grand Canyon. Thanks for attention!

Have one on my bunker pants, one on my bunker coat, and the rest on some webbing. Lightweight, study, and have used them during high angle/ladder rescue training.

These are very light & alot more durable than I expected & I actually use these in many situations where hanging or latching to pull things whether it be yard work or just around the house.
