Trango Regulock HMS Carabiner

Jeff said that this biner is "affordable and beefy," like a Big Mac.

He's right.

Just wanted to give a heads up that the autolock feature on this carabiner only requires that you twist the gate, you don't have to push it down and then twist like most autolockers. Seriously doubt this affects safety, but maybe someone with more R&D experience can elaborate .... otherwise, solid piece of equipment and awesome color combo!

The twistlock option is smooth, fast, and secure and is great when belaying. All in all, it does the job and is pretty affordable.

I got the twistlock version for belay and it's awesome. Super smooth action and fairly light for an hms.

And affordable!

This is the same size and shape as the Black Diamond Rocklock carabiner, but the color is soooooo much better! I love the Rocklock, but I hate BD's Mocha color. It used to be an awesome orange. Now it's been Mocha for the last however many years?! Thank you Trango for making this awesome carabiner in an awesome colorway! I will be buying many more when the screwgate comes back into stock. They sell out so fast!

I bought a pair of these screw-lock caribiners for the main anchor point where the rope passes through on my top rope and rappel anchors. I have used the setup many times with two different ropes, as well as used one for a rappel. The generous opening is nice. I also really like the bright colors because it is easy to see them for a last anchor check and harder to lose them!

The screw lock slides well without issue and the gate opens without catches. The smooth, higher-diameter body is what I look for in my master-point caribiners. This is not super light, but it feels solid, which is my preference when I am not carrying it up a wall.
