iain Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Strange arguing going on here. Some stuff is cast, some isn't. The original Jumar is a cast frame. The Petzl Ascension is stamped. Every carabiner out there is probably forged out of aluminum bar stock, as that's the right way to make something light that has to catch a big fall. Smart rescue units have dumped their old steel carabiners as "unnecessarily strong" or set them aside for training only. If you want some I'm sure I can get a good deal on them. Quote

sobo Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 You're welcome. And iain's right. We dumped our steel biners about 6 or 7 years ago. You can have them. They weigh about a pound and a half each... but they're hella strong (Fu = ~52kN)! Quote
