The Palm Side-Swing combines an unusual gate design with a classic HMS carabiner. The large gate of this carabiner opens diagonally to the side, allowing easier attachment of ropes, webbing slings and kayak handles. The self-locking Auto-Lock significantly reduces the risk of accidental opening and getting caught in the carabiner. At the same time, the carabiner can still be opened quickly with one hand.
The pear shape of the HMS carabiner is designed for the construction of half-mast hitch fuses (HMS). However, the twist-lock security is vulnerable due to the winding of the HMS. Both DAV and SAS therefore recommend positioning the braking hand opposite the snapper - or one HMS carabiner with 3-way lock to use.
In contrast to the wire clip variant, this carabiner does not require a nose for a secure closure. So no ropes or slings can get caught in the nose notch when hanging and unhooking. The Side-Swing HMS carabiner from Palm is made of anodized aluminum, as is usual in climbing. With the UIAA certification, it is even approved for this!
