Manufactured in Switzerland, a country known for producing excellent industrial and design products like watches, the LE Hook carabiner. Also known as the Carahook, this carabiner has been in production since 1970. Due to requests from long-time users, it has been imported to Japan.

It all started when he lost the LE Hook he bought in Paris in 1970 while still attached to his keys. His LE Hook was always carried as a keyholder, experiencing aging over time, and had developed a wonderful glossy aluminum color.
Despite searching for 2-3 days, he couldn't find it. At that moment, what worried him was not the loss of the keys, but the question, "Is it possible to re-obtain the LE Hook?" His subsequent actions led to what is known today.
Noticing that LE Hook users around the world were frequently searching online, he went through various twists and turns and succeeded.
The "k116 model" has an impressive load capacity of about 500kg. The "k88 model" has a load capacity of about 200kg. Even just these numbers show that it is a heavy-duty item.
Not only sturdy, but featuring a simple structure that makes it easy to use, the ''quick-release open'' keychain can be opened and closed with one hand. By pressing the buttons on both sides in the center and sliding the main body, one side of the hook opens, featuring an extremely simple structure of the quick release (opening and closing) mechanism, with the opposite side of the hook (the round ring part) designed to rotate.

By the way, it seems there is no packaging such as boxes or bags. Only brand new and unused products are shipped. Minor scratches and blemishes from the manufacturing process are said to be shipped as normal products.
