I know this is getting a bit away from mikepatt's q'n as he was asking about Kong biners, but a comment/question on wired gates as all-rounders...

I got some wildwire draws a few years back (as they were only $25/draw at the now defunct Melbourne Mountain Equipment store) and a couple of times a second has been able to clean them complete with bolt plate with the gate shut. Each time was with 10mm machine bolts (I'm pretty sure) and the plates were the common RP and PFH, so nothing unusual. Seems the gate is thin enough to allow the plate to get in a position with the bolt head reaching the keyhole. I don't know if this is a problem common to many wire gates or just some. No big deal, I just don't use the wire gates on hangerless bolts.

No doubt this has come up before, but I can't find it in historical posts.

Cheers,
Jamie
