The DMM Sidewinder is a directional connector that has an integrated swivel feature, making it a very useful carabiner when there is a need to manage torsion, cable spin or when it is necessary to rotate the load relative to the anchor.
The Sidewinder is often used as a connector on cut resistant lanyards and guided fall arresters as it can be captive on a system, allows rotation by the user and is quick, easy and secure when connected. However, it can be clipped, tied or threaded to maximize versatility and minimize any side torque on anchors, etc.
