Edelrid Pure Slider Carabiner

The main advantage, of course, is added security. They can’t offer quite the same level of security as a normal screwgate. They could perhaps be opened if the catch is pulled down from above. Then the gate could come open as normal if pushed from the side. However this would need 2 clear actions in different directions and we consider it low probability this would happen. It is possible though. So, they won’t suit every occasion. They certainly inspire confidence in many situations though.
