The GrimLOC™ connector is designed for use by operators in a tactical environment as a lightweight corrosion resistant replacement for heavy metal climbing carabineers. While not designed to carry human weight, these will support a 10kg/22Lb max load - which includes ammo packs, TACMED™ kits, ropes, and many other items.

The GrimLOC™ is perfectly suited for connecting your tactical accessories that require quick and easy one-handed access. The high strength polymer structure easily supports weapon sling connection points to body armor and features a breakaway design to eliminate snags.
