Tree Climbers International - ISC "Mighty Mouse" Carabiner

I got one of these like a year and a half ago, and never really used it much. For whatever reason, about 4 months ago, just started using it on my climbing line. I immediately fell in love with it. It is compact and out of the way...but it is still an HMS...I can tie a Munter in 1/2" line with no prob. The spine (major axis) is a little thicker than the top and bottom of the carabiner. Interesting design. I've found that on a tight eye splice, or on a cinching knot, the thickness of the spine keeps the rope in place. This serves as a free, easy way to prevent cross loading!

It is worth mentioning that this is referred to as a quad-lock carabiner. Most are double or triple locking. I know some people get hung up on what "double locking" actually means. Regardless, this carabiner does have one MORE step than any other 'biner I've used or seen. It is subtle, but it is enough to prevent accidental opening. Yet, by hand, it opens quite naturally.

My next round of 'biner purchasing will include several of these.
