Ocun Eagle HMS

HMS stands for 'Halbmastwurfsicherung,' which is German for 'half-clove hitch belay.' These carabiners are pear-shaped, designed specifically to accommodate the friction required for belaying with an Italian hitch or various belay devices.

Yes, the keylock nose prevents the carabiner from snagging on your ropes, slings, or gear loops when you are clipping or unclipping. It makes the entire process much smoother and less frustrating compared to carabiners with a traditional notch.

The screw-gate is a classic, reliable choice that requires manual locking, which many climbers prefer for its simplicity and durability. The twist-gate offers faster, automatic locking, which is convenient for frequent clipping but requires a bit more maintenance to keep the mechanism clean and functional.

Absolutely. Its standard size and lightweight construction make it an excellent choice for building anchors or managing belay stations on multi-pitch routes without adding unnecessary weight to your harness.

The Eagle HMS is designed with a standard geometry that is compatible with almost all modern belay devices, including tube-style devices and assisted-braking devices. Its shape ensures the device sits correctly to maintain proper friction.
