The stainless steel wire gate on the HotWire operates as both a spring and a gate. Rock and Ice gave it their Best In Gear award and then raved about its practicality. Not only is the stainless steel gate stronger than aluminum gates, but it is also extremely resistant to the phenomenon known as "whiplash." Strong, ultralight and super clippable, the HotWire offers superb versatility for all types of climbing. *Colors may vary.
Bottom Line: Snow, ice, rock—the HotWire does it all.

Nothing beats a HOTWIRE

Like I said, nothing beats a Hot wire.
These are the best all around carabiners I've run across. I use them for all kinds of activities now, because they are the most dependable at opening and shutting without fail, and never snag on gear, ropes or clothing.
Change me.
