FAQs
Is the S-Biner #2 suitable for climbing?
No, the S-Biner #2 is not designed or rated for climbing or any load-bearing safety applications. It is intended for general organization and connection purposes only.
What is the weight capacity of the S-Biner #2?
Nite Ize does not specify a weight capacity for the S-Biner #2, as it is intended for organizing and connecting lighter items, not for supporting significant weight.
How do I clean the S-Biner #2?
You can clean the S-Biner #2 with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used.
Can I attach my car keys and house keys together?
Yes, the S-Biner #2 is perfect for attaching multiple sets of keys together or separating them on the dual gates.
Will the stainless steel rust?
The S-Biner is made of high-quality stainless steel, which is highly resistant to rust and corrosion. However, prolonged exposure to harsh environments without proper care could eventually affect the finish.
What is the difference between the sizes of S-Biners?
Different sizes are designed for different tasks. Smaller sizes like the #2 are ideal for keys, zippers, and small gear, while larger sizes can handle bigger items like tools or larger camping equipment.
Can I use this to attach my phone to my bag?
You can use it to attach your phone case (if it has a loop) or a lanyard attached to your phone to a bag. However, ensure the connection is secure and the phone is not at risk of falling.
Troubleshooting
Spring gate is stiff or difficult to open.
Rinse the gate mechanism with clean water to remove any debris. Dry and gently flex the gate a few times. If the issue persists, a drop of lubricant specifically designed for metal mechanisms might help, but avoid over-application.
S-Biner does not close securely.
Ensure no objects are obstructing the gate closure. Inspect the gate for any signs of damage or wear. If the gate is bent or damaged, the S-Biner should be replaced for security.
Discoloration on the stainless steel.
Minor discoloration can often be removed with a soft cloth and a mild metal polish. Ensure the product is thoroughly rinsed and dried afterward. Persistent discoloration might indicate prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals.
