Now for a little terminology definition - Single action = non locking carabiner |double action/single locking = screw gate or single autolocking carabiner | triple action/double locking = a carabiner that requires two distinct motions to release the locking mechanism prior to being able to open the gate. This matters to the ‘treepeople’ because of how abusive we are to gear and those pesky ANSI standards/OSHA

    Dmm has since downgraded their green hms to 25kn on all newer carabiners I’ve been able to find near me. The red twist lock is still rated at 32 however.
