Abstract: A universal safety and rescue carabiner holder is disclosed for securing a carabiner with its gate in the open position while extending the user's reach several feet in any direction, which is also capable of supporting a long and heavy segment of attached safety rope. The carabiner holder is mounted to the end of an extension pole and includes an axial stem, gripping means supported by the axial stem for releasably capturing the spine of the carabiner and for holding the carabiner's gate arm in an open position, and supporting means supported by the axial stem opposite the gripping means for restraining the base of the carabiner. An axial gap defined by the gripping means and the supporting means is variable to accommodate a broad selection of carabiners have a wide variety of sizes, shapes and gate arm configurations.

Abstract: A safety and rescue carabiner holder for securing a carabiner with its gate in the open position while extending the user's reach several feet in any direction, which is also capable of supporting a long and heavy segment of attached safety rope. The carabiner holder is mounted to the end of an extension pole and includes a restraining structure that grips the bottom of the carabiner and a set of spring-loaded jaw arms that firmly clamp the spine and gate arm of the carabiner in a manner strong enough to withstand any inadvertent shaking and bouncing, ensuring that the carabiner will stay in place until hooked into a target ring and the user releases the carabiner by pulling backwards on the extension pole.
