Is This Biner Cracked or Just Scratched?

[poetmk]

received an email from petzl a few days ago that said they examined the carabiner with a microscope and found it to be only scratched. They put it on their machine and it broke higher than 28kN - so that's good - i guess. new one arrived today - so that's cool.

thanks for all the feedback - better safe than sorry!

anyone liking the taste of spring in the air

peace,

It's cool they tested it like that.

Thanks for closing the loop on this discussion!

There is a reason to support stand-up companies that take the time to find out how their products work in the field. Petzl is on my 'Two-thumbs up' list.
