catbirdseat Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Is it tiny like a Camp Nano? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevino Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 they call it 'mini' so one could imagine..which is too bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layton Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 saw it at the show, way small than the camp. Sweet for your camera, water bottle, shoes etc to use in a pinch....or for climbing with Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jens Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 We were going to do some lead fall testing on various keychain biners at the gym last week (above good draws). ---------------- How much smaller is this Metolius biner than the camp nano? I like the camp biners, but the springs have roughly a two year life and then some of them no longer close all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dberdinka Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Black Diamond makes a really nice keychain carabiner called The Micron. It's metal with a stiff wire gate and the large is about the same size as the latest micro biners. $2.60 canadian at MEC. I'd love to see half-a-dozen of these independantly pull tested.

kevino Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I've seen one of them drop tested. We had to gather the three parts to piece together our conclusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
