A carabiner looks a bit like a snap hook, but it's actually quite different. What are the similarities between a carabiner and a snap hook? We can tell you that. Both hooks are designed for quick connections. You can connect both hooks directly to a rope, for example, and then click them shut. A carabiner is popular for use among climbers. A snap hook is ideal for keys, for example. Both hooks can also be used for (light) lifting tasks. Furthermore, the carabiner has a hinged opening.

What kind of opening does a carabiner have?

But what kind of opening does a carabiner actually have? A carabiner has a sliding part that completely closes the opening. So you can press something down, so to speak, causing the sliding part to move down, allowing you to attach the carabiner to something or connect it to something else. By the way, do you know where the name carabiner comes from? Similar hooks were used to hang a musket in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. And do you know what a musket is? A handgun that was widely used in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
