Rock Exotica Pirate Auto-Lock Carabiner – HMS Pear-Shaped Connector

The Rock Exotica Pirate Auto-Lock Carabiner is a premium HMS (pear-shaped) connector designed for professional arborists, rope access technicians and climbers who demand strength, durability and smooth handling. Built with a robust round-stock frame and precision machining, it delivers exceptional reliability in demanding environments.

Featuring a 3-stage auto-locking gate with a pull-down and twist action, the Pirate offers intuitive, one-handed operation while maintaining a high level of safety. Its ergonomic design, combined with a snag-resistant keylock nose and beveled gate edges, ensures smooth interaction with ropes, lanyards and hardware.
