Taydude,

No worries if you want to convert your system to use carabiners. Ratchets work for most folk but I understand climbers liking carabiner based systems - afterall that's what I learned on too. We're actually releasing a "not so primitive" system so you get to keep the primo slings but the tensioning system is your basic 3:1.

If you have a primo the best way to convert it is to remove the 19mm bolts on the ratchet and simply clip your carabiner into the blue webbing. If you tuck in the edges on the blue web to end up with a 45 degree angle on each side it loads on a carabiner much nicer. The advantage there is it keeps everything perfectly flat as well as lets you reset the bite of the system or even soft point the carabiners out.

If you don't have the wrenches to do the job, we mail out loaners for a couple bucks if you need.
