{"product_id":"rock-exotica-rockd-orca-lock-carabiner","title":"Rock Exotica RockD Orca-Lock Carabiner","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe ORCA is a unique autolock sleeve\/gate that can be set in the unlocked position. When you open the gate it is just like opening a non-locker, but the act of opening the gate “triggers” it and when the gate closes it will autolock just like a regular autolocking carabiner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eWhy it’s good\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/u\u003eThe ORCA can be unlocked on your rack for easy access without any of the gymnastics involved in opening a conventional autolock in tight situations. Then when you clip it in something it will lock. Or, if you put it in a bolt hanger, tripod head, etc., and hold the sleeve when closing it will remain unlocked. Then you can turn the biner over and install a rope, pulley, etc., just like it was a non-locker, but when the gate snaps shut it will be locked. When climbing something sketchy, do you ever want to use a locker for your first placement? Use it for the bottom biner in a quickdraw and you can simply put the rope in and it will lock when it closes.Who can use it?The ORCA is very versatile but it is not like any other carabiner and you must understand how it works.  It is for experienced, advanced users\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003eWeight: 2.85 oz (80 gm) \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eBreaking Strength \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eMajor axis: 29 kN \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eMinor axis: 11 kN \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eOpen gate: 9 kN \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eGate opening:.95” (24.1 mm) \u003c\/li\u003e","brand":"Gear Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49994912923885,"sku":"REX-0029","price":21.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/6266\/2381\/files\/rex-0029_1.jpg?v=1779288954","url":"https:\/\/gear-express-shop.myshopify.com\/products\/rock-exotica-rockd-orca-lock-carabiner","provider":"Gear Express","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
