ITW Grimloc D-Ring
ITW Grimloc D-Ring
Developed as a lightweight and robust alternative to the carabiner, ITW designed their Grimloc D-Ring to be a sleek and tactical compliment to the modern warfighter's kit. It's high strength, non-reactive polymer construction reduces the felt weight to basically nothing while providing an anchor point for gloves, packs, and additional gear, or while providing a means to manage antennas, cords, or straps. Their popularity and effectiveness among troops was so great that Hydro Packs are now manufactured with them as standard. They're designed specifically to interface with the MOLLE II system and standard PALs webbing, with the inner detent providing a bracket point for you to weave it snug and secure into your kit, where ever you may need it. From here, you can either clip items to your gear, or clip your gear to something else entirely.
The clip itself functions by way of a single button mounted on the top with tension provided by a stainless steel spring. Press down on the button and the hook portion of the clip opens right up, rotating at its hinge by about 85 degrees. Unlike a carabiner, the clip is not under tension and will remain open until you decide to close it and lock it shut. These D-Rings will not support body weight, and are in fact designed to snap away if sudden or extreme levels of force or weight are applied. This way, if you get hemmed up or snagged, you can free yourself easily. The high tolerances and tough polymer ensure that the D-Ring wont break, and its mechanism will continue to function, even under the dirtiest and harshest of conditions. Being built from the ground up for military applications, they're also resistant to gaining and maintaining thermal heat, with a dampened IR signiture so that they wont shine under NODS.
These bomb proof, space age carabiners have a nearly limitless number of applications. No matter what you're up to, you'll always find a use for them, and you'll find that you can never have too many.
