We have not. I've tested carabiners with big grooves and they have held up just fine.
Thank you, knowing that helps a lot. I will choose a different brand on EG. Appreciate you guys
Have you done any of the gear once it's been "retired" from wear. Like a hoodoo, critr, ATS.. that have +/-30% missing?
Petzl is the only one that requires a much higher insurance policy which jacks up John's other insurance policies since they want to package everything up. So he can't sell Petzl on the site right now. Other brands have 8s you can check out or EG just misses this sale.
When will the Petzl 8 be available on Extreme Gear?
