Maillon Rapide 10mm Half-Circle Stainless PPE  Ref: sci10

Be aware that the threads on stainless steel are prone to 'binding' and it doesn't take much in the way of muck to cause the collar to jam. Specialist stainless thread lubricants are available from industrial suppliers but they are very expensive. We would only advise the use of stainless steel if it is absolutely necessary. If the collar locks up this does not constitute a manufacturing defect, it is a trait of the material used and it's unsuitability to the caving environment. The only reason we sell the stainless version is for use in marine environments or permanent fixed rigging situations. For general caving use the ordinary mild steel one.
