At Nite Ize, we believe no product is too small or basic to be improved. Exhibit a: the classic utility carabiner. We took a hard look at this ubiquitous device and saw two good opportunities to make it more efficient. We designed an innovative slide-to-lock feature that securely locks the gate with a simple push and slide movement, and unlocks when you want it to just as easily. Then, instead of a bulky tubular construction, we designed a cross sectioned, rectangular Stainless steel body that's durable, low profile, and slim; it feeds more easily through smaller openings and rests flat in pockets.
