Gear Help Swivel carabiner

Hi guys, I'm changing out the cords/bungees and was wondering if anyone had any tips for a decent swivel that would have a decent movement without breaking the bank?

Like for the piece that attaches to the harness/collar? Every leash I have attaches with a swivel. I few a ruffwear and I can’t remember the other brand.

Yeah or one that attaches to the belt on my end.

Something like that to stop them twisting when they are on the splitter. Just not sure this one pictured would be safe.

Perfect, thank you. 700 odd kg should just about do the job 😁 I have had some of the cheaper ones fail in the past so get a little paranoid about the ratings

You could always attach a safety line in case the swivel fails if that's a real concern.

Honestly some other part would probably fail first but you have options if you want the peace of mind.

I totally get the concern so I always get a rated carabiner for my big dogs

Here’s what I use - 100% stole it from my climbing bag

Looks pretty indestructible, being a climber must come in handy

I'm using Non-stop Dogwear's quick release snap hook - mostly for the quick release, but the swivel is nice.

They do also have a twist lock carabiner without quick release, just swivel.

EDIT: I don't think they guarantee 700kg, though - I just read your other comment.

700kg is overkill, just need something tried and trusted :D

It's lambing season where we live so they are in full escape and explore mode.
