Flat Gate Clips by Maratac ~
Titanium:
The Flat Gate Clip is our most robust multi use machined Titanium 6AL-4V clip, which can be used to keep your everyday carry gear organized and ready for rapid deployment. The Flat Gate Clip is 6 axis machine cut and is truly made to last and can be used to carry any small preppers paraphernalia you may have.
( can also be customized / colored by heating the main clip separate from the spring )
Titanium Flat Gate clips are not only lighter than stainless steel, they are stronger too.

The clip is very well made. The web site has it at 3.4g but my scale has it at 3g. The gate on the clip is made strong to open and shuts tight. You should not lose this because the gate does not look or feel like it will fail. The craftsmanship is very precise like a fine piece of jewelry. The picture on the web site looks ruff compared to the one I received. I have had other clips where the gate opened the opposite direction but this one I know will hold its weight. I still have not made up my mind on what I will use this clip for but it will be used to secure something valuable. I recommend this clip for your everyday needs and for special occasions where you cannot afford to lose your item(s).
Nothing I could find says what weight load limit to expect. I put near 200 pounds on both the small and large, which didn’t even pop the gate past the hook so they didn’t flex much. The holes weren’t specified.
20mm hole .125
33mm hole .193
45mm Bang Ti hole .270
And the small works to open bottles - it takes some pull and it kind of wedges between the cap and bottle.
I’m using these clips to enable quick disconnect for camera straps to the camera.
Like the clip. The small is perfect for jacket zippers or other small dangles.
Clips are strong and small, perfect for keyrings.
These are really small, so choose your clip with that in mind.
