DMMBelay Master 2 Karabiner

First off, the number 2 made me think this is a different model or something, i'm still not sure, but the one I got looks different from the one in the picture. The one I got was the one with the more metallic grey look, with ridges on the long side of the crab.PROS:This carabiner performs great! It totally eliminates cross-loading and keeps the correct orientation when belaying a loose rope, such as when leading or doing an inverted top rope climb. Also, the fact that the black flap only closes when the locking gate is shut totally eliminates the chance of forgetting to, and of having an insufficient-load-bearing-strength accident if the gate opens during a dynamic move. Also, it is super light!CONS:A couple of criticisms though; firstly, it is a bit small, when the black flap is closed there is not a whole lot of room for a belay loop, just enough and no more, secondly, the flap has sharp plastic edges that I noticed where tearing up my belay loop and destroying my harness! Quite a disaster if not caught in time, best file/sand the edges before use!Also, going back to the size issue, if you have a belay device with a large connecting loop, such as with most ATC devices, then when belaying the connector loop can sometimes hit off the black flap; it hasn't caused an issue with me, as when the rope is tight, as in a descent, the loop passes over the top of the black flap.Overall, still 5 stars, probably the best carabiner on sale!

DMM Belay Master 2 KarabinerNo cross loading. Guaranteed gate closed and screwed shut. Lightweight. Designed by someone who knows what they are doing. Only minor improvement is to drill a hole in the plastic and add a ty-wrap in your rack colour so you don't lose it.

An intelligent yet simple to use carabiner design that goes well with my DMM Bug.It has a straight forward screw gate and a plastic locking clasp that can only be closed when the screw gate is properly closed giving added security.My only minor complaint was that the plastic clasp felt a little sharp along the edges and corners. The edges do smooth over the more you use it though. Clever simple but effective.

Was recommended to buy this and it is perfect for the job.

Very good quality, and almost idiot-proof.

Arrived in 3 days and build quality is good it looks just like the photo

So I'm not sure what I was doing wrong, possibly just getting a bit carried away belaying - but I was regularly cross-loading the rope. Not wanting to change what I was doing, I bought this on recommendation and it's great.Makes belaying so much easier, once you know it's all in place you can basically forget about the karabiner.

Love this item! Easy to use and foolproof.

I received the products within a few days. All in perfect condition.

きちんとロック出来ていないとプラスチックのやつがはまらないので、ロックの有無がひと目で確認できる！

Very solid and safe locking HMS carabiner. I use this with the Mammut Smart Alpine to prevent the device from moving around and potentially cross-loading.The plastic gate is effective and sturdy. I have never had a problem with the plastic gate coming off. However, when you do want to take it off, it comes off easily. The plastic gate removes the worry if the carabiner is locked or not, since it will only close when the screwgate is completely locked.The screwgate takes minimal amount of effort to lock completely (takes about 3-4 turns to lock the carabiner).

Für mich beim Sichern erste Wahl und ich würde freiwillig nicht mehr darauf verzichten. Der Belay Master wirkt sehr hochwertig, lässt sich trotz Lasche problemlos am Gerätering des Gurts anbringen. Die Lasche verhindert zuverlässig das Verrutschen, garantiert dass der Sicherungskarabiner im Einsatz verschraubt ist und stellt sicher, dass sich die Verschraubung nicht löst, ohne dass man die Sicherungshülse kräftig festziehen muss.. Auch der Kletterpertner kann das mit einem kurzen Blick checken.

DMM carabiners are just so well made, and feel very smooth and slick. This ones no different and it has the added safety feature of preventing cross loading. Note the plastic clip that prevents cross loading can be removed relatively easily if needed and some may prefer a more permanent feature that doesn't come off, but I find it fine as it is.
