<p>I built a spreader using steel double lock snaps from a NIB fall restraint lanyard and a 27 kn 50" webbing loop. I ran a bowline with blight to each double snap and one to where my steel 50 kn auto locker carabiner is. With exception of carabiner all knots are loaded and set directly on snaps and carabiner has just enough room for carabiner to pass through. Carabiner is made with knot from doubled loop and ends are just one layer of loop. So in another words there is 4 strands on blight at top and two per snap. Is this a solid use of knot? This is my attempt at reducing triaxial loading of carabiner</p>
