DMM Sidewinder

Product detailed description

Is it a swivel connector or a fixed eye connector? Actually, it's both. The Sidewinder is a directional connector with an integrated swivel eyelet. It is essential in applications where you need to control rotation, rotate the load relative to the anchor or simply minimize line tangles. The Sidewinder is often used as a connector on guided fall arresters because it can be mounted on the system, allows rotation by the user, and is quick, easy, and secure once connected.

FEATURES
Fixed eye for permanent connection
Sometimes it is necessary for the connector to remain in the correct orientation or to be permanently connected to the system. The DMM connectors with a retaining eye and fixing holes, which are suitable for textiles, can be sewn into a rope or strap loop or threaded directly onto the cable. They provide predictable load direction and complete safety because the connector cannot be removed or misaligned.

The aggressive load groove pushes the load into the right place.
Clean end of lock for hassle-free connection
DMM 's patented "Taperlock" locking mechanism increases the strength of the gate and cross gate insertion with a special flared profile on the nose of the carabiner and also allows for a snag-free connection for your ropes, straps and gear.
