Faders steel snaplink - braking krab

Faders 405-00F steel snaplink - braking karabiner.

A heavy steel snaplink which is well suited for use as a braking karabiner.

Less aggressive braking than the Raumer Handy, and a less massively strong heatsink than the R400; but significantly lighter and somewhat smaller than the latter - and very affordable.

Also useful if you want a more versatile braking krab i.e. it can also hold together the Garma harness when in ascent, be used as part of a Garda hitch, and works better on steel cable traverses than more specialised gear.

Long axis - 24kn. Gate open - 6kn.Gate aperture 20mm (note, this is *not* a keylock). Weight 144g.
