At 4.7 inches tall and 2.7 inches wide, each carabiner weighs just 3.25 oz while delivering a massive 42kN axis strength. They’re built for technical climbing, arborist work, rope rescue back-ups, and any situation that requires dependable load-bearing hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the 42kN rating affect real-world safety and use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 42kN axis strength (about 9441 lbs) indicates the maximum force the carabiner resists along its spine before failure.
