[QUOTE="Charles Harrigan, post: 73284, member: 23"] Just as an aside, the typical breaking point of a locking caribeaner is about 3700 pounds. So for a safety factor of 10 that would be 370 lbs, however; the literature has limits based on shock loading and states that they must be discarded after a certain number of shock events. Also they are made of aluminum which has a much shorter fatigue life than steel, though to what extent I can't say. It also says that for safety systems that may experience shock loading, the biner shouldn't be in contact with other metal devices. Climbing gear is designed to be as light as possible and still protect you from your mistakes. It was never intended to be used for rigging or overhead lifting. Sent from my neural implant [/QUOTE]
