Im not sure why a few people said these are NOT for rock climbing, they ARE 100% for rock climbing. These carry the same certification as all the big names ! I use these for tree climbing and have no issues hanging by one 50’ in the air. They are rated 25Kn on the long axis 1 Kn is 224.8 lbs, that makes 5620 lbs on my calculator. Enough said.

manufacturing defect - check critical surfaces and mechanisms before using!

Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2020

Verified Purchase

I haven't put them to use yet, but I found a small manufacturing defect in one of them that would likely damage any rope used with it. The defect is on the inside of the narrow bend (hinge side) and looks to be caused by incomplete casting. I'm by no means an expert climber, but the burr is significant enough that it likely would not just wear off/smooth out on first use. I plan to use some fine grit sandpaper with a small dowel to hopefully remove the burr without wearing down the surface too much.

Update: I found another manufacturing defect on one of the gates. You can see in the photo the right carabiner's lock sleeve (the knurled part that twists) has a shiny edge at the top. This edge is like a chisel and is sharp unlike the one on the left. I nicked my finger on it while getting used to this biner's action.

good for the price for general use. Climbing look elsewhere

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2021

I checked their certification so all's good there. Weight is good. I just find that I can't one hand these as well as my name brand. I roll the lock with my thumb to unlock and open one handed. I find with these it takes more rotation to unlock and sometime the gate will hang slightly open and the biner freezes between open and close, It then takes two hands and some fiddling to get it functional again. I purchased these for WW rescue so the lack of one handed operation is less of a negative for out of boat scenarios Twice I have went to remove one from my PFD (one handed) while in my boat only to have the damn thing freeze and thus become useless. Luckily it wasn't life safety involved.
I would not use these for climbing.

These are high speed!

I am not a mountain climber! But I do like to workout with large loop resistance bands. I know, you are not supposed to use a carabiner with bands. Recipe for disaster! But not with these! They are 10 times stronger feeling then a regular good quality stainless steel carabiner. I got these because they are wider at both ends and looked like they would fit through the door anchor loop and the band better. And they do work really well for that. Plus they just seem a lot stronger than my regular ones. I have very little fear of something breaking lose while working out when using these. I am sure they are great for mountain climbing too!

Strong and secure

Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2019

We actually bought these to reinforce the door on the crate we keep the dog in, because she learned that if she pushed hard enough, she could bend the metal just enough to pop the door open and escape. These are some serious carabiners! They are strong and secure. They are so good, in fact, that our dog gave up trying to pop the door open. Nope. Instead, she warped the back of the crate to get out. Looks like we need carabiners on the back, too!

Initial impression is good

The media could not be loaded.

Looks big enough for what I need, and it's so much faster and easier than the ones that you have to screw closed. I'm going to be using these to latch a harness onto a pulley system, and a zip line.

I Like These Carabiners

Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2020

Verified Purchase

I have a number of Favofit's smaller/"less strong" carabiners in spring gate, screw gate, and twist gate. All works very well and I'm very pleased with the price/quality ratio.

It's taken me a bit to get used to these twist gate carabiners (both the smaller ones and this item). Easier to unlock the gate than the screw type, but it comes with a trade-off: I need two hands to twist the gate on this (where I can unlock a screw gate with one hand).

Each, however, has its place and as such I am really glad to add these carabiners to my collection. As I noted, the price is pretty good and the quality is very nice. As with all non-climbing carabiners I don't put absolute faith in the weight limit claims, but I do know these will hold the heavy loads I need them to hold.

Very nice. 5 stars.

Really good, I don't know why people hates them?

This Carabiners are UIAA Certified. Has certificates at least for 2020, 2021 years.
More detailed:
Strong, sturdy, lightweight, well made.
I have also small version of this as an utility carabiners (that are marked 12kN), and the difference is significant.
Smaller 12kN versions definitely not as trustworthy as this 25kN.
Visually 25kN are 2.5-3 times thicker than 12kN carabiners.

2 things to note:
1) They are quite compact - not small, but you can not put too many things on each one.
2) locks are not ideal. I mean for 2 of 3 carabines I don't have any concerns, other one - it is not bad, but in certain positioning (not all the time) it feels like a little bit "dirty" on unlock. It works without any fails, but just the sense of how it is opens - you feel the difference.

Can't be beat for this price

Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2019

Verified Purchase

These things are excellent. Extremely easy to use with one hand even when loaded. Unlocking them is very smooth and they spring shut fast and secure every single time. They are light but very well built and are plenty strong. Even when side loaded they function perfectly. Good finish and rope slides right through with very little resistance. The gate is nice and wide but not so wide that you need to hands to keep them open.
This is an excellent product that cant be beat in its price range. I highly suggest these carabiners to anyone who needs to tie into any kind of rope access activity.
