Developed by Kevin Bingham, the inventor of the Rope Wrench and Rope Runner, the Notch V3 Quickie is a locking steel connection that can be used for nearly everything you would use a carabiner for - and more. Plus, its less than half the size of standard carabiners! The Notch V3 Quickie makes a perfect connection for a base anchor or canopy anchor because it doesn't suffer from the side loading problems of a standard carabiner. Also, the quadruple action slick pin rotates, lowering friction when used to choke a rope. This version of the Quickie is precision cut from stainless steel. For the milled version see the Original Singing Tree Quickie.
