| Summary: | last iteration of this iconic HMS carabiner |
| Description & Commentary: | Produced before the collapse of Omega Pacific, the last iteration of this classic HMS overcomes most of the issues with the earlier models. It sports a keylock nose, massive gate opening, the locking sleeve requires fewer than 4 rotations to unlock (the older version took almost 6!). It is on the heavy side, but generally only 1-2 of HMS carabiners are carried, or used in situations where weight is irrelevant. It's a pleasure to use with a large diameter barstock and a deep, round basket shape. The Petzl Williams offers similar weight and gate opening but with a flatter basket, which is preferred in some applications or by some climbers. In my experience on ropes courses I've seen the Jake carabiner gate springs wear out at a rate much faster than Black Diamond or Petzl carabiners - often self-ejecting at some point. This example is new and hasn't been subjected to the same level of extended use, so I cannot say if the issue had been resolved.
