DMM Revolver Carabiner

USOutdoor.com

The Revolver Screwgate is the carabiner that a lot of people have been waiting for and it is now finally (March 2008) available.

It features the same friction reducing pulley as the wiregate version, but this model will be fully certified as both a carabiner and pulley. This will make it ideal for use in hauling or rescue systems where complete safety and legislative compliance is required.

The Revolver was the reason for I-Beam technology being concieved because this process crucially allows the body to deal with the stresses involved in placing a pulley into a carabiner whist remaining light enough for general use.

Features:

  • It has been anodised for protection against the elements especially coastal and rigouirous mountain enviroments.
  • Lubrication:The 'IGUS' bearing will run without lubrication, however like all gates and barrels a periodic clean and oil will prolong the units life.
  • The 7075 series pulley runs on a dry lube "IGUS" bearing, which is seated on a high tensile stainless sleeve and spindle. This will continue to rotate with loads up to 11Kn before any deformation occurs.In the unlikely event that the pulley does deform - and we have not seen one case yet - the biner still acts as a full strength (24Kn) carabiner.

Mountain Gear

Haul gear or conduct rescues in which safety and legislative compliance are required with the versatile Revolver Screwgate carabiner from DMM. You'll have an efficient pulley system with a 7075 series pulley positioned at the top of the biner while the gate employs the screwgate mechanism - making it ready for use when belaying as well.

Features:

  • Certified as both a carabiner and a pulley, this biner features a friction reducing 7075 series pulley that will continue to rotate with loads up to 11 kN before deformation occurs
  • Get overall reduced rope friction with a pulley that runs on a dry lube IGUS bearing situated on a stainless steel sleeve and spindle
  • Keep your ropes safe from snagging with the keylock nose
  • Lock the gate into place for belaying with the Screwgate mechanism
  • Use this biner for years to come; it's been anodized for protection against the elements
  • You won't need to worry about a lot of maintenance with this biner, the IGUS bearing works without lubrication; but, periodic cleaning and lubrication will prolong its use

Innovation...?

Rating:*****

Throw these on a sport anchor, and make a thrilling (good) belaying for people on top rope. Trad climbers, think of the last climb with rope drag "issues"; now throw this little guy on a long sling and take the profanity out of climbing.

Great for glacier travel and z/c pulley sysytems

Rating:*****

I have used these for crevasse rescue and they lower the resistance quite a bit when pulling using the Z / C systems. I think I read where they can reduce resistance 25-40 % vs. standard carabiners in that capacity.
