Made from 12mm round bar stock means that the Synergy is a true HMS, and this means that this unit is highly recommended for all belaying jobs as the round bar helps the rope run more smoothly. The round bar also means it has the ability to be used with a Italian hitch to double as a belay or abseil device in its own right – useful if you drop your belay device. It is important to note that the Synergy's gate uses 7075 alloy which is the same as the biner body and is super strong. This means that the gate, when closed, should make the same strength if pushed inwards as pulled outwards. Finally, like all the Wild Country biners, the thimble on the gate always stops short of the nose making sure it cannot be over-tightened. | Product | Weight | Gate Closed Strength | Gate Open Strength | Cross Gate Strength | Gate Clearance | EN Norm | | Synergy 12mm Screw | 89 / 3.14 | 22kN | 7kN | 7kN | 23 | EN12275 |
