Revolver Triple Lock Karabiner

Description

The DMM Revolver Locksafe karabiner offers a revolutionary method on the way karabiners work, with its rolling friction rather than sliding friction as in a normal karabiner when the rope runs over the karabiner bar. In the case of the Revolver, the rope runs over the pulley wheel, meaning that much less friction is created, further resulting in less force holding the climber back which makes upward progress much easier.

It is clear to see the benefits when a number of runners are placed on a longer route, and even more so when sudden changes of direction are encountered, such as when the route traverses or goes over a bulge. It’s here when the friction reducing benefits are most apparent, not only to the biner but also to the rope thanks to the roller.

Due to the level of reduced friction, when a climber does fall, the weight is even more evenly distributed throughout the system. This results in less force being inflicted on the last piece of protection placed, which can be very beneficial if the last piece is marginal.

Working like a small pulley, the revolver is an extremely versatile piece of equipment and offer options in terms of rigging systems or improvised rescue. The roller itself blends smoothly into the back of the karabiner, encouraging the rope to run in the correct position.
