I doubt if either would break - i believe the fault is in the casting of the internal angle of the nose which would result in the wire 'slipping off' instead of being held captive and providing the full strength of the karabiner.

Any chance that they will be back in the shops by the beginning of September? I'm hoping to buy a set for a sport climbing trip.

No, I hadn't heard of them. Just looked them up on a website... Can't say I fancy them - I particularly want superlight wire gates. The WC Heliums look great - I hope they sort out the glitch and get them back in the shops soon!

Martin, any idea when customers are going to get their heliums back/new ones sent out?

Come on Martin. What's happening? I paid a load of money for new draws...now I don't have my draws or my money.
