SMC Safety and Rescue Non-Locking Carabiner for Professionals: Force Series D, Black

The new Force series carabiners from SMC, proudly 100% made in the USA, deliver outstanding strength-to-weight ratios. This remarkable performance is achieved through the innovative ISO Cold Forging process, a technique initially developed by Omega Pacific. This manufacturing method ensures exceptional strength and durability by compressing raw materials into optimal designs, effectively avoiding common issues such as internal fissures and deformations that can arise from other forging techniques. When paired with high-quality aluminum alloys, the outcome is a lightweight connector that stands out as the strongest in its category.

SMC is not just committed to excellence in manufacturing; it continually refines this established process, integrating superior design and manufacturing quality. Both the Force Series D and Oval carabiners feature smooth, rounded inside diameters, enhancing their interface with ropes and webbing. The Force D Screw-lock offers a reliable locking mechanism that eliminates the complications often associated with other locking methods. Thanks to SMC's dedication to quality, each locking and unlocking action is consistently smooth and precise.

With an impressive strength rating of 31kN, which is nearly 7000lbs, the Force D ranks among the world’s strongest aluminum carabiners. This carabiner boasts a robust and cost-effective design, having proven its reliability in diverse conditions globally. Whether utilized in recreational climbing, military operations, or rescue missions, it is engineered to perform effectively in any scenario.

SMC's Force D comes in both locking and non-locking variants, and it is available in tactical, non-reflective colors to meet various needs. This versatility guarantees that the Force D carabiner offers exceptional value and adaptability. The design features generous gate clearances and deep baskets, ensuring seamless clipping that greatly enhances usability.

Constructed from aircraft-grade aluminum and utilizing the classic D shape, the carabiner efficiently directs loads toward the stronger, non-gated side, thus optimizing strength. This low-cost yet high-strength characteristic makes it particularly suitable for various applications, including recreational climbing, military service, law enforcement, and original equipment manufacturing (OEM).

Additionally, the simple yet effective Screw-lock option provides an added layer of security against accidental openings, ensuring that users can depend on the carabiner under demanding conditions. Moreover, the hooded gates contribute to smoother rope-bearing surfaces, minimizing friction and wear during use.

In summary, SMC’s Force series carabiners exemplify quality and reliability, combining advanced manufacturing techniques with thoughtful design. This ensures that users have access to some of the best climbing hardware available on the market today, giving them the confidence to tackle their challenges, whether on a climbing wall, in a military operation, or during rescue efforts. With the Force D, you not only invest in a product made in the USA but also one that stands the test of time in performance and safety.
