The Revolver is a ground breaking concept that has gained legendary status for industrial and recreational use. Take the advantages of lightweight aluminium connectors and morph them with a roller wheel from a pulley and you've got an incredibly versatile piece of equipment: counterweight rescues, clipping tight lines, hauling chainsaws, deviating running ropes, etc. the list goes on.
For rock climbing, the Revolver's integrated pulley wheel allows ropes to run more efficiently through the carabiner. Used at changes of direction on a route, it helps reduce rope drag.
The Revolver is also highly useful for creating lightweight hauling systems. If you need to haul kit, a partner, or perform crevasse rescue, the pulley wheel increases the efficiency and converting more of your energy into movement.
Integrated pulley wheel for reducing friction
The pulley wheel reduces friction and increases movement efficiency. It can combat rope drag on complex pitches, and decrease rope wear when used as an anchor point when top roping. The Revolver can also create mechanical advantage in a lightweight hauling system, making it indispensable as part of a climber’s personal rescue kit. The pulley wheel is functional with loads up to 11kN.
Wire gate for maximum weight saving
Wire gates are the lightest gate type available, and resist freezing shut in cold conditions. They help reduce rack weight, and are ideal for trad, winter, and alpine climbing.
Small gate notch reduces snagging
Wire gate carabiners require a gate notch to achieve their full strength rating. Our notches are minimised while remaining functional, to reduce snagging on other equipment.
I-Beam construction for optimum strength to weight ratio
I-Beam construction reduces carabiner weight without compromising strength. It is achieved through hot forging, which allows metal to be formed in complex shapes that improve functionality.
