The Revolver Screwgate is a locking biner with an Integrated pulley, which means dramatically reduced friction in any system using these biners. Perfect for rescue and hauling.
Following their success with the Revolver Wiregate, DMM have tweaked their original design and have added a locking gate. This makes the pulley/biner combo fully certified for use as as carabiner and pulley, perfect where complete safety and legislative compliance is a requirement. The Revolver also offers you options in terms of rigging hauling systems or improvising rescues making this carabiner a very versatile piece of kit.
The keylock nose means that ropes and gear don't sna or catch with the gate open.
In the Revolver carabiners, I-Beam technology is used, reducing weight and maintaining overall strength. This allows the innovative Revolver design to deal with the stresses involved in placing a pulley into a carabiner whist remaining light enough for general use
