GPCA™ Carabiner LITE: the minimalist utility carabiner

The patented GPCA™ Carabiner LITE is the entry point into the GPCA carabiner line: a unibody carabiner CNC-machined from a single piece of 420 stainless steel, with the everyday tools you reach for most. It is extremely durable thanks to its single-piece construction.

EDC (everyday carry) is about adapting your gear to your needs. The quick way to get the most out of your EDC is a minimal carabiner with the most-used essentials: a box cutter, a bottle opener, pry edge and the Secret Capsule, all in one clip. Gizmodo Featured.

GPCA Carabiner LITE feature diagram

Features

  • Patented unibody design — CNC-machined from a single piece of 420 stainless steel, polished with a light brush on both sides
  • Box cutter — Torx T8-mounted module for boxes, tape and cordage; removable for travel
  • Bottle opener — always ready, no disassembly
  • Pry edge — for light prying, so the blade never has to
  • Secret Capsule — a hidden compartment inside the barrel of the screw gate for a small flint, a rolled bill or emergency medication
  • Screw gate with an etched lock symbol (a design detail, not a mechanical lock)
  • Torx T6 + T8 tool included — removes the box cutter module for TSA travel
  • 200 lb static load rating — an everyday-carry tool, not for climbing

Box cutter

The box cutter module is sized for utility cuts: boxes, cordage and tape. Don't pry with the blade edge; use the pry edge instead.

Hook, hang and carry

The widest part of the opening is about 3.1" (80 mm) and it is about 1.2" (30 mm) tall, so most adults can get a full four-finger grip and use it as a handle for bags or a quick grab point.
