For those commenting on how boring this looks, that's manufacturing. I worked in two plants back in the 70s and early 80s while attending college. It really was not as boring as you would think. The best part was the people you work with and it was low stress. I am now almost retired and looking back my college educated career was more interesting and paid better but was incredibly stressful.
Between 1981 and 1982 I lived next door to Andrew McLean at a RISD dorm, and we became friends. I heard first hand from him the times he was arrested for climbing, or rapelling from crazy structures (Providence is pancake flat), and I realized what a special person he is. For those who do not know, Andrew was the guy who came up with the brilliant concept for the wire gate carabiner, just a few years after graduating while working for Black Diamond.
You cast a very wide net when you use the term ‘Asian’. Not only this, but given the proliferation of Chinese products you would have been closer to the truth by saying, “Because I watched this video, I will therefore (theoretically) buy the products this company over those of Asian manufacturers and subsequently make a minuscule dent in the high percentage of Asian products I currently purchase.
@@3daypriest That said I purchase as little as I can from China. Fortunately I am in the position in life that I can afford to pay up. We are finding out now when you depend on other countries for products it can certainly go bad. Thinking N95 mask. I do realize it's a global economy but if and when I can I will purchase local.
Scott Gibson I cannot totally agree with you, yes it is good to support your local businesses and it is also more sustainable if the production chain is short and located locally but to say I won’t buy something because it is made in china is wrong in my opinion, made in Germany for example doesn’t mean quality and that the certificates and standards being observed, china is a big country, so a lot of people are outsourcing their businesses. But what makes quality is what you pay for it, cheap produced goods, no matter where, are probably not that good, so you get what you pay for. (IPhones for example are made in china and pretty high quality). At the end, you have to decide where you buy your goods, but If the workers getting a fair salary and the standards are the same - then I don’t see any point besides sustainability too not buy there and support those humans.
@@dalivanwyngarden3204 I am from the US and everything I have ever purchased from Germany has been very well made, mostly tools and skies. My brother in law has run plants in China and I can assure you their wages are not that good. What does bother me is US companies outsourcing to China and charging likes it's made in the US. It's the reason I no longer purchase K2 skies. Take care
All job's are boring mate most especially manufacturing job's but then again PPE item's such as carabiner's & industrial earmuffs & gloves & such like are essential item's & someone out there (someone such as myself) like job's such as these & believe it or not there's a lot of research design & technology that goes into producing products such as carabiner's.
I love DMM. Actually the Brexit, give me the dificult to buy their products easy. I hope, i need a solution. I love thir products, y hey have for me the best cuality for my work, and outdoors travels. Please debe to UE your fantastics products. For me specialy your biners. Thanks for the guide visit.
They mentioned it very quickly but they said that one of the processes was being done by hand to show how it is done and was normally automated. I imagine it's the same with the other steps but they were showing the prototyping shop or something
at the moment, robots that can load small parts reliably and quickly are way too expensive. so for example with the guy manually drilling the wire gate holes at 5:10, if you wanted to automate that you'd spend 20 or 30k on a CNC drilling machine just to have that same guy still standing there loading and unloading the machine with hardly any resulting speedup. massive automation happens in massive factories first, not small workshops like this that can benefit from flexibility.
Yes DMM carabiner's are very good but? they're not as good as Grivel but? then again there's so many different carabiner model's from so many different manufacturer's i'd be more like a kid in a pic n mix candy store 😂😂😂 but seriously don't! use non load bearing carabiner's for climbing b'coz them type's is only intended for key clips & attaching thing's such as water bottles to bags & such like however the more expensive carabiner's are considered PPE (personal protective equipment & have been specifically designed for rock climbing & ice climbing! & never ever use a carabiner that's even slightly damaged replace it immediately with a new carabiner!
It's AH-LOO-MIN-UM, not AH-LOO-MIN-EE-UM. It's spelled Aluminum. There's no "i" between the "n" and "u" to make the EE-UM sound. It's not pronounced like Helium (HEE-LEE-UM). It's pronounced more like Platinum or Molybdenum.
It has nothing to do with open mindedness, and everything to do with not butchering the english langua.ge, more specifically SCIENCE. Elements know no country. So don't try to make it about US or British, cause I really can't give any less shits than I already don't
grammarist.com/spelling/aluminium-aluminum/ "Neither term is superior to the other, and both are etymologically and logically justifiable. Aluminum is older, while aluminium is more consistent with other element names such as helium, lithium, magnesium, and so on (though let’s not forget there are other -um elements-molybdenum, tantalum, and platinum)."
Actually, in the English language here in the UK aluminium does have an "i" in between the "n" and "u" so it is not pronounced like platinum as they are spelt differently. It is pronounced more like magnesium. Ps is elements know no country then how come iron is eisen in German
I actually learned the history of this while getting my PhD in chemistry. When the element was originally named, it was aluminium, with the i, like how the British and most other countries say it. In 1907, the Pittsburg Reduction Company changed its name to Alcoa which is abbreviated from Aluminum Company of America. The i was dropped in the company's name and became integrated into American English so that now, in American English, it is considered correct without the i.

as a mechanical engineering student (and a climber) it is very satisfying to see what I have studied being put into practice!

Love DMM. I would support this company before any Asian product, any day of the week. They deserve it, staying true and employing locally.
Just like Metolius - made in Bend, Oregon, USA.

I want to see anodized process!!!
Super cool! Really liked the explanation of the process!
Awesome guys! Thanks for the video
Many thanks for the upload
I find it amazing how everything we consume comes from the ground.
and returns to it!
Can anyone please tell me, why there should be a little play in the gate of the carabiner when locked..
Very curious to know about it...
Very interesting!
Way cool thanks for sharing.
Watching those aluminium roads being bent into shape is weirdly satisfying
What is Michael van Gerwen doing in this British carabiner workshop ;-)
educative :) great vid
They showed the stress test with a finished carabiner!...
7:16 - 7:20
+Deovrat phal carabiner porn?
+EpicTV Climbing Daily I like the auto-locking mechanism :)
yeah, its super nice..in fact pretty much everything we saw that day was awesome!
What carabiner was that? [drool].
I finally got my auto-lock carabiner !!!
7:14 what's the name of the carabineer.
Looks like the DMM Klettersteig.
Ill try that with my roadeavour.
the title of this video is a bit misleading, not every carabiner is hot forged as shown in this video...
Is that 450 degrees celcius or ferenheit?
C
450 C = 842 F
tight

geez those are boring jobs for some of those people :(
+Phil W Yeah, they should ship those jobs to China.

As much as I want to love DDM i can't they just don't last they lose there snapback so quickly
I love DMM. Actually the Brexit, give me the dificult to buy their products easy.
I hope, i need a solution. I love thir products, y hey have for me the best cuality for my work, and outdoors travels.
Please debe to UE your fantastics products. For me specialy your biners.
Thanks for the guide visit.

So many automatable repetitive tasks done by people. I wonder what the tipping point is for automating vs paying for all the all man hours.

So if it has a tiny scratch throw it in the bin?
Everyone in that place looks so miserable.

Hey, in europe we say Aluminium... So i would guess your from america? Cheers and be a bit more open minded ;)
