Climbing Gear - DMM Revolver Wiregate
The DMM Revolver Wiregate uses rolling friction rather than sliding friction (as in a normal carabiner) when the rope runs over the bar, specifically over a pulley wheel which means much less friction is created. Less friction means less force holding the climber back which makes upward progress a lot easier, as well as less wear on your ropes and therefore prolonging it's life and saving you money!
Also, by reducing the friction, the forces involved when a climber falls are more evenly distributed throughout the system, resulting in less force being inflicted on the last piece of protection placed.
Lastly, the Revolver also offers you options in terms of rigging hauling systems or improvised rescue, as it works just like a small pulley, making this carabiner a very versatile piece of kit.
DMM REVOLVER WIREGATE FEATURES
-
Reduced friction through use of a roller pulley wheel
-
Lightweight yet strong I-Beam construction
-
Helps to prolong the life of your ropes
-
The roller itself is made of 7075 and blends smoothly into the back of the carabiner to encourage the rope to run correctly.
-
Inside the roller is a dry tube Igus bearing which in turn is supported by a high tensile stainless sleeve over a high tensile stainless spindle.
