I Hate Amazon's 12kN Carabiners

Carabiners rated for climbing fail at at least 20 kn when tested on the major axis. The 12kn carabiners we test in this episode look and feel like climbing carabiners and could easily be mistaken as life supporting devices. The product descriptions, reviews and comments can also be vague if not directly recommending them for climbing use. You need your aluminum stronger than you need it so it doesn't become fatigued and suddenly snap on you. The carabiners we broke all failed at higher than 12kn in this episode but that doesn't mean they are proof loaded and meet the standards for climbing use. DO NOT BUY THESE - these links are just for you to reference the carabiners we tested in this episode. We literally threw away the extra ones we did not break or use so they don't accidentally get mixed into my gear Titecongo https://amzn.to/3wHGFbw Unijoy https://amzn.to/3fWLvM0 L-Rover https://amzn.to/3mzYrbR 👉 Learn and SHOP at https://www.hownot2.com/shop 👉 Best EMAILS on Earth: https://www.hownot2.com/signup 👉 SUPPORT US and get gear discounts https://hownot2.com/support 👉 10% off ROCKY TALKIE by clicking https://www.hownot2.com/rocky 00:00 Salty Intro 00:35 Titecougo Description 03:14 Unijoy Description 05:46 L-Rover Description 08:37 A Great Description 10:41 21kn Carabiners 11:13 12kn Carabiner Break Tests 13:45 12kn Summary 15:30 Climbing Carabiners Tested 16:25 Summary
