The Jake has set the standard for HMS carabiners. To start with, its shape orients the load, predictably, where we want it every time. Other belay carabiners can be loaded on the nose of the carabiner... a very dangerous situation.
The Jake eliminated this problem through a superior design. It always centers your belay/rappel device so that in double-rope rappels, neither strand of rope is pinched on the spine, ensuring a smooth and predictable rappel. The Jake is also equipped with a truly unique side-swing gate which provides you with greater gate clearance and ease of use.
