Raumer Handy

The Raumer Handy Karabiner has been very popular with technically advanced cavers. It is small, light and does not exert any damage on the rope. The brake/snapgate is an almost indispensable accessory for larger people or with use of a heavy haul sack, perhaps on new and dry ropes. Although some people are reluctant to use braking carabiners, we strongly recommend it as with correct use it can prevent potentially dangerous situations.

A snapgate carabiner in AISI 304 stainless steel, used in combination with caving descenders (pulley or figure of 8) on a single rope.
