These are often referred to as 'snap links', yet there is no mention of that term on the page and a wiki search of it doesn't refer to this page. Shouldn't 'Snap link' at least redirect here? Zainker ( talk) 04:27, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
In the US, "carabiner" is the accepted spelling. Is "karabiner" the British spelling, or only the German? Since the c is used in the article title, I'm tempted to revert the edit where the spelling was changed, but I'd like some input from other editors. -- Joel 03:25, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
The article title is carabiner, and in my opinion that establishes the spelling that we should use. If the karabiner is the accepted spelling, then the article title should be changed. Garrettcobb 05:08, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
I must admit, I've always seen it as "karabiner" wherever I've read it. I think I'd prefer it to be karabiner. However, carabiner gets 6 times more Google hits. Davidbod 09:10, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
I took out the "strangely" in "Recently, they have strangely become very popular in the emo and scene subcultures." because I think it's not NPOV. There are a lot of other little subtle nuances here that make this article slightly biased too.
Does anyone know when the first carabiners originated? I assume the late nineteenth century, but was wondering if anyone could say more definitively. I've always seen it spelled "carabiner", btw, but so long as there's a re-direct from either spelling, should be fine. 67.165.49.173 02:10, 14 September 2006 (UTC)Tom Miller
The word Karabiner comes from German, where Karabiner means carbine (Spanish and Franch carabine): short gun used by Spanish an French cavalry, and by German cavalry fron 1888 (Mauser 88). The spanish carabine comes (year 1500)from the arabian word karab.
The French word for Karabiner is mousqueton, a carbine drived from mousquet, the heavy gun used by the French Armée. The wrod was extended to the snaplink used to connect the wapon to the its strap. So, both words derive from cavalry. Carlo Zanantoni — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.252.48.94 ( talk) 16:02, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
I admit that Image:Carabiner.png isn't as pretty as Image:Carabiner2.png but I'm uncomfortable with prominently displaying a caribener that cannot be used for climbing in article predominantly about climbing, especially surrounded by text about climbing and without a caption saying the one shown can't be used for climbing.

The article mentions the Strength on the 'biners, but doesnt say whether thats the working load limit, or the breaking strength. Personally, I'm not sure what it is, otherwise I would edit it in. Any takers? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nafango2 ( talk • contribs) 03:39, 29 April 2007 (UTC).
Repeats the phrase "for some time" 3 times - reword? -- 202.89.167.24 ( talk) 17:19, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
Noticed that the DMM Belay Master series carabiner isn't listed, surely it should be? Essentially it's a double locking carabiner so it's a type in its own right no? http://dmmclimbing.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.198.35.248 ( talk) 23:02, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
