“Love this biner for the eye termination on my climbing line. Heavy enough to hold my line in place while advancing it with a pole saw. Works well with my hitch climber. ”

The popular Pirate carabiner with the new ORCA locking gate.
The new ORCA (Open Regular Close Auto) Locking System deploys with the ease and quickness of a non-locker and shuts with the security of an autolock. The ORCA is a unique autolock sleeve/gate that can be set in the unlocked position. With the gate in the “set” position it is ready to function like a non-locker but the act of opening the gate "triggers" it and when the gate closes, it will autolock just like a regular autolocking carabiner. Ideal for aerial rescue, complex haul systems, etc.

The TransPORTER is the newest and best tool for racking saws and other tools on your harness. Four screws keep this durable, strong tool carrier in place and upright on your harness. The double push-button gate can be locked or unlocked, and will remain so until you change it. This makes it easy to access your tools when you need them, and gives you peace of mind that they are secured while climbing.
The TransPORTER weighs only 95 grams (3.4 oz), and is strong enough to hold your climbing saw without problem (50 lb WLL). 4.2" x 2" with 1.25" gate opening. Like all Rock Exotica gear, the TransPORTER is made in the USA with the highest-quality methods and materials.
The TransPORTER is the only saw holder you will need.

“Got this about 2 months ago. Love it!!! I run super light gear so it was rough when switching to the big saws. My clip would dig into my side or be upside down when I went to put my saw back on the clip. With this clip you don't have to worry about that. So much more comfortable. It also locks closed if your moving around the canopy. Also spreads out the weight. Little more with the big saws. Love love love.”

“ Outstanding!!! First time use today. The TransPorter doesn't move like a carabinar and the locking feature is nice because I can lock & unlock one-handed without looking. No more two-hand fumbling for my saw; one-hand stowing and retrieving with my lanyard ring. Lock to move around to avoid twigs. Money well spent! ”
