Carabiners
Carabiners are used extensively in both rigging situations and everyday life. Only trusted carabiners, though, are safe for rigging. Many have the designation “not for climbing” stamped on them as they have not been tested for strength and durability. It is important to get a carabiner that you can count on from brands you trust like Petzl, Rock Exotica, Omega, and Yoke-Niagara.
