Kong HMS Napik Auto Block Aluminum Alloy Carabiner

Kong HMS Napik Auto Block Aluminum Alloy Carabiner

The Kong HMS Napik Auto Block Aluminum Alloy Carabiner is a pear-shaped locker with an automatic sleeve, rated to 23 kN and weighing 85 g (3 oz). The wide pear profile is what a Munter hitch needs to run properly. Kong certifies it to EN 362/B and EN 12275/H.

Features and Benefits

The auto block sleeve takes the decision out of your hands. A screwgate is only locked if somebody remembered to lock it, and at a hanging belay after a long pitch that is not a given. An automatic sleeve closes itself every time the gate shuts.

Additionally, the HMS pear shape gives the wide end a Munter hitch needs to flip cleanly between directions. A narrow D shape jams the hitch, which is exactly the wrong behaviour when you are lowering someone.

Moreover, the Keylock nose removes the notch that catches on slings and bolt hangers. Kong describes the Napik as more compact and lighter than a traditional HMS while carrying a higher tensile strength, and it tests every piece individually at its facility in Italy.

Product-Specific Use Cases

Kong HMS Napik Auto Block Aluminum Alloy Carabiner belay locker gets clipped and unclipped more than anything else on the rack. An automatic sleeve removes one repeated decision from the day. Use it for belaying and lowering at Wadi Bih and Hatta, for building anchors on multi-pitch routes in the Hajar range, and on the indoor walls across Dubai where the same carabiner sees heavy traffic.
