Rock Exotica RockO WireEye Auto-Lock Aluminum Carabiner

The ORCA gate system allows you to set the carabiner in a 'ready' position, keeping it unlocked for easier clipping or repeated gear changes. It functions like a traditional auto-lock when you need security but offers the flexibility to remain open when you are actively working with your gear.

This hybrid design combines the best of both worlds: the oval shape helps keep your gear and lines centered, while the rockD geometry provides superior strength and more internal volume. It is specifically engineered to prevent gear from shifting around, which helps maintain a cleaner, more organized setup.

Yes, the keylock nose design eliminates the hook found on traditional carabiners, which prevents the gate from catching on slings, ropes, or webbing. It makes clipping and unclipping significantly smoother, especially when you are working quickly.

The flattened, slim profile reduces bulk, making the carabiner easier to handle and pack. It also helps the carabiner sit flatter against your harness or gear loops, reducing the overall profile of your rack.

With a major axis strength of 24 kN, it is built for demanding use. However, always ensure the carabiner's specific ratings align with the safety requirements of your particular application or rigging system.

The gate opening is 0.93 inches (23.6mm). While this is generous for an auto-locking carabiner of this size, it is designed primarily for standard climbing and rigging ropes rather than oversized industrial lines.
