    diy supply carabiners

    Over at diy supply I'm thinking about picking up some carabiners for miscellaneous use. Just wondering what the size difference is between the micro and the mini carabiner ?

    I don't know, but I'm pretty sure that if you e-mail him and ask, he'll be able to provide a side-by-side comparison. His customer service is excellent.

    They're about the same, but I much prefer the wiregate ones over the other type. I've checked all over various sites to get the best deal. I keep going back to Lawson's, as you can get 10 for $10 with free shipping. I've bought over 40 of these:

    Yep, and JacksRBetter sells them, but they're in black only & they say "JacksRBetter" on them!

    I went a searchin' when I was first looking for them last year. I could have bought a 'lot' of them from China for like $.25 each, but the minimum order was like 2000. I got them from several vendors, but I keep going back to Lawson for alcohol bottles, cord locks, biners and the like because it's easy to get over that $10 free shipping mark!

    Lawson's fuel bottles don't leak. That's the only place I'll buy them.

    If you want micro biners with HammockForums.net on them...get them here.
