Anodised in a metallic blue with an offset opening gate, this Screwgate is a useful and attractive addition to any rack.
To be honest, the Jake is one of the coolest karabiners on the market and, for years, has set the standard for HMS karabiners. To start with, its shape orients the load, predictably, where we want it every time. Other belay karabiners can be loaded on the nose of the ‘biner ... a very dangerous situation.
The Jake eliminated this problem through a superior design. It always centres your belay/rappel device so that in double-rope rappels, neither strand of rope is pinched on the spine, ensuring a smooth and predictable rap'. The Jake is also equipped with a truly unique side-swing gate which provides you with greater gate clearance and ease of use. Available with Screw gate or the 3-Stage Quik-Lok locking mechanisms.
JAKE now comes with "Keylock"™ as well, making it the perfect all round 'biner - screwgate or Quik-Lok
