Product Feature
The Munter hitch, also known as the Italian hitch, is a simple knot, commonly used by climbers and cavers as part of a life-lining or belay system. To climbers, this knot is also known as HMS, the abbreviation for the German term Halbmastwurfsicherung, meaning 'half mast hitch belay.' Therefore, carabiners used for this belaying technique are called HMS carabiners, however the technique can be used with any locking carabiner wide enough to take two turns of the rope. The name 'Munter hitch' is due to a Swiss mountain guide, Werner Munter, who popularised its use in mountaineering.This connector (spring hook) is a personal protective device serving as an opening device used for joining components, enabling users to assemble a system to be able to directly or indirectly connect to anchoring.This is a basic connector (spring hook) with automatic closing and a screwing lock.Product Specifications
