Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ISC KL100 carabiner used for?
The ISC KL100 is designed as an accessory carabiner for arborists and rope access professionals. Its primary uses include connecting chest harnesses to SRT (Single Rope Technique) systems and securing tools on lanyards to keep critical equipment accessible and attached while working at height.
What does keylock nose mean on a carabiner?
A keylock nose is a gate design where the tip of the gate fits flush into a recess in the carabiner nose, eliminating the hook that traditional wire gate or notched nose carabiners have. This prevents the carabiner from snagging on ropes, webbing, or anchor points during use — important for smooth operation in arborist and rope access applications.
Is the ISC KL100 a locking carabiner?
No. The ISC KL100 is a non-locking carabiner with a straight gate. It is intended for accessory use — tool lanyards and chest harness connections — rather than as a primary load-bearing connector. For load-bearing connections, use a locking carabiner rated for your application.
What is the minimum breaking strength of the ISC KL100?
The ISC KL100 has a minimum breaking strength (MBS) of 9kN (2,023 lbf).
