Does Petzl's Wire Lock locking carabiner hold up to other climbing carabiners?

We broke 12 locking carabiners all lined up from weakest to strongest. They did not break in that order though! These carabiners have different gates and we show them to you before breaking them. It's a hybrid between a buying guide and teaching what HMS lockers are and just pure edutainment. I think it helps trust carabiners you trust your life to, when you see HOW they break, not just a number printed on the side.

Our lowest broke at 20.82kN and our highest broke at 31.88kN. Please don't make strength a main purchasing decision, use and shape and function and size, etc are good things to consider. They are all super good enough!

This is a great video by Kong showing what happens if you load the gate side of an HMS carabiner https://youtu.be/VD_r3yzPesU?t=621
