New Gear Coming From DMM

Just one of the new goodies coming from DMM next year.

DMM Wales, such great stuff. Being a gear slut is costly, but because I purchased "more than I needed" of those single action carabiners they made back in the day (gold gate and red gate, single twist to open) I am still able to innovate new gear configurations with them. And they're SO THICK and ROUND, really easy on rope. I use one (NOT RECOMMENDED, THIS IS HIGH RISK, MY PERSONAL CHOICE) for my positioning lanyard so I can quickly attach and detach in tight situations, where reaching down to my hip can sometimes be a task in itself, never mind the 3 movements needed to open a modern carabiner. I thought of these wonderful old DMM pieces when I read "easy to operate with one hand".

I searched single action, archive pics and old for DMM Wales 'biners and I could not find a single pic of one of these.

I'm surprise that a captive eye biner with integrated pulley isn't in the works...

I want the pulley on the top of the spine. Think speedline clip.

Oh, you mean one like the kind just introduced by Brocky Moorehouse Mountaineering

Scratches arm while seeing these new beauties. I need that in my life.

Lol, *with* a captive eye. Thanks though. Pulley on the top, like that one, but with a captive eye at the bottom.

It's just like the Brocky Moorehouse Mountaineering biner except the pulley is in line with the spine instead of that shitty "half way between the spine and gate" thing that the BMM version has going on. @Brocky

BMM, that doesn't sound too good, will probably change that. Moorehouse might not have the first e, also.

When you're using first rate, top quality materials, along with highly technically advance engineering, think oval carabiners, then the pulley can be positioned in the middle. I'm predicting around 75 kN breakstrength. Just send all your money and we'll work out the details later.

It's as good as sent, lol. I'll bet someone has the patent, they're just waiting to saturate the market with those other biners first...

I think the rope wrench community has been waiting for this one.

Hell no....oval all the way....that's pure noise....if it is not oval ...it ain't happening....CT makes the best oval to me anyway

To each their own. I struggle to fit all that on an oval comfortably.

Hmmmm.....very odd

I always use the rubber stopper to keep the left prussic leg from moving.....
