Developed by Kevin Bingham, the inventor of the Rope Wrench and Rope Runner, the Quickie is a locking steel connection that can be used for nearly everything you would use a carabiner for and more. Plus, the Quickie is less than half the size of standard carabiners!
The Quickie makes a perfect connection for a base anchor or canopy anchor because it doesn't suffer from the side loading problems of a standard carabiner. Also, the quadruple action slic pin rotates, lowering friction when used to choke a rope.
