Climbing Gear - DMM Shield 12cm Quickdraw
The DMM Shield 12cm Quickdraw is a premium piece of climbing gear using lightweight carabiners that use a patented keylock nose and strong I-beam hot forging technology to create an incredibly strong and reliable carabiner. The 'clean' nose of the biner means that it will not snag or catch on other climbing gear, making your climb swifter and safer. Also there lack of recesses on the nose means that it wont catch on protection and therefore it ensured the biner lies cleanly.
With its naturally narrow nose, you can clip the DMM Shield into a variety of narrow pegs and bolts and therefore climb a range of disciplines and clipping is quick and easy. As an I Beam carabiner, the Shield benefits from a reduction in weight (from 44g to 35g) whilst retaining the amazing strength.
Thanks to the ergonomic design, the Shield is probably DMM's strongest and safest wiregate biner, with a gate open strength of 10kN, making it very hard to get it to misbehave and crossload.
