Spanset K4 Karabiner Safe Return to Use

Following a well publicised report of a K4 Triple Locking Karabiner breakage, Spanset Australia Ltd gave an undertaking to publish the findings of the resulting investigation.  The findings indicate that the breakage of the karabiner was not as a result of any manufacturing fault, nor flaw in raw material of the product, but most likely due to a combination of factors as detailed in this report.  It is hereby our assessment that there is no risk in the continued use of this batch, or future batches of SpanSet k4 Karabiners when used within manufacturer's instructions.
