All my screwgates have gone walkabout and while looking for some new ones I found these on Bernie's site:

£4 per krab - can't be bad

my orders are to sit here and watch the world go by

Had some of those at some point, don't seem to now for some reason. They seem to do the trick. Gate opens & closes. Screws & unscrews.

There's a comprehensive review for you...

I haven't checked my gear yet, but I'm hoping I didn't end up with them. I'll have a look-see in the morning.

Cheers for the link though... my wallet hates you now. I used those on Saturday, no problem with them. Does what it says on the tin.

Ah don't worry, I came home on Saturday with the same number as I set out with. The screwgate attrition has been going on for some months :lol:

Ay they look up to the job!!

My wallet hates you too Simon, I've had to retire/fed a few to the "Mine Gods" and need some new carabiners!!

Better to regret something you have done - than to regret something you have not done.

Go outdoors do these individually for about six quid with one of their discount cards, and I've got quite a few. They do the job just fine as far as I'm concerned 😉

the clog crabs are fine - i have several in my own rack - but if i was buying new - and spoending £45 quid - i would bite the bullet - and spend £50 on :

http://www.berniescafe.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_9&products_id=1088

to get 2 of the above offer

just my opinion - but the keylock nose is worth an extra 50 pence given the expected life of a crab -

YMMV

Have a mixture of krabs and to be honest don't really find that the keylock ones are appreciably different, even on rebelay knots with a short bight.

Each to their own I suppose.

Ed might be an idea to put this on our forums and see if a number of folk are interested - I know I could do with a couple more, not eleven though lol!
