The lightweight OK carabiner is made of aluminum. It has an oval shape that allows optimal loading of devices with a wide cross-section, such as pulleys, rope clamps and mobile fall arresters. Its fluid interior design and Keylock system facilitate handling. It is available in three locking systems: automatic TRIACT-LOCK or the manual SCREW-LOCK system. OK can be connected to the CAPTIV bar to favor positioning of the carabiner along the major axis, to limit the risk of it flipping and to keep it integrated with the device.
Easier handling:
H cross-section:
Available in two different locking systems:

6+1 days, I don’t see much point in suggesting for level 1, unless candidates are willing to work an extra day, and can catch a piece of level 2. The best option, from experience in level 1, is 5+1+1 days. A rest day for level 1 would be helpful. .

| Day 7 | Exam | ||
The 6+1 day should be added to the repeated practice of complex rescue operations and more time for practical work with setting up security. The fifth and sixth days are the most beneficial for the third level compared to the rest. For the third level, you have to repeat a lot of topics from the second level study program and learn a lot of new things from the third level. Therefore, the extra time allotted for repetition greatly increases their chance of passing their level. 4+1 days is very little for new third levels.
