Product Description
The slimmest of the Handgrey H Series, the H1 is crafted from grade-5 titanium to last a lifetime. The entire piece, including the gate, is wire cut—making it the first carabiner of its kind Read More
Used dollar store carabiners (from everywhere I could find, MEC, Dollarama, Dollar Tree, Canadian Tire, Home Depot, Walmart off water bottles etc) since I was 16, had to replace every few weeks to months as the spring tension would always become loose and the gate wouldnt event align with my keys dropping in parking lots all the time. I watched this H1 model for a long time and put it on my secret santa wish list and was gifted it. It's been going on strong for 3+ years and I'm never looking back. The spring is still as solid as ever and the design captures the key rings perfectly. Since then I have gifted one to another friend purchased from massdrop since it is half the price vs buying direct from the handgrey store.
Trust me, this is worth every dollar and cent.
Could these be used as strap ends on a leather messenger bag?
I'm thinking of having a new strap made and I really dislike the "spring-type" clip and swivel snap hook on 95% of bags. I realize they won't have the same type of swivel range of motion, just curious if they are of appropriate size/strength. I think they could potentially look great!
? This looks virtually identical to the Ti caribiner I just bought on eBay last week from a US seller for $8.75! If you want to wait a couple of weeks you can have one shipped from overseas (assume China) for $4.75 and have it in virtually the same time that this drop would ship. Looks like some one here is trying to scam a sh#t load of money!
None of the Chinese products you listed are particularly cheap though. Essentially you just proved kokin’s point; if you want quality it’s going to cost a pretty penny. No hate, just pragmatism.
TutmanCanadian here, the H1 is worth the money. For something holding my car keys which costs a significant amount and other keys that would be a huge hassle to replace I'm going to invest in the original designer and quality of the handgrey.
For 10 years I was cycling through your usual $1 to $7 dollar/hardware store carabiners and the springs all went loose. Since I was gifted the handgrey 3 years ago it has been strong. I have since gifted another one to a friend from massdrop since its like half price compared to buying direct.
We also need to support original creators and not keep funding our dependency on China.
If you want a keychain that you can pass on as a family heirloom for generations then this is probably for you, however if you merely need a keychain that lasts you for a lifetime...
