K18T WIDE Twistlock Carabiner

A large, glove-friendly locking carabiner built for fast, secure handling when you don't have time to fuss with a screw sleeve.

The K18T WIDE's forged aluminium body gives it a large internal volume that handles rope manoeuvres and multiple simultaneous connections cleanly, even in cold conditions where dexterity drops off. Its Twist-Lock gate opens with a simple rotate-and-push action and locks automatically the moment it's released, combining the speed of an auto-locker with handling that stays manageable through thick gloves — a real advantage over screw-lock systems when you're moving fast in technical terrain.
