The Kong Italy Argon S carabiner is expertly designed to provide extreme lightness and minimal dimensions. Its unique shape enables better rope glide, optimal placement for belay devices, and easy clove hitch tying and untying. It also offers wider rope contact surfaces for reduced wear and maximum strength on its spine axis. The D shape and asymmetrical design make it an ideal choice for attaching belay or rappel devices or for use on a lanyard. The screw sleeve is recommended for dirty environments where other spring-loaded sleeves may jam due to debris. Other key features include a compact shape perfect for belay stations, a low-profile for reduced bulk, a keylock system, and an easy-to-use one-handed screw sleeve. This top-quality product is proudly made in Italy.
