UPDATE

I still have a few of these left, anyone like some?
This is what I have;

Edelrid Ninteen G
The lightest full strength (>2000kg) carabiner out there.
at £6.83 a piece.

I know they are OTT for most applications, but at only 19 grams, they are in the same ballpark as non-climbing krabs with much lower strengths.
DIMS Length: 75mm Width (widest point): 45mm Width (narrowest point): 30mm Weight: 19g
SPECS Gate Closed: 20kN Gate Open: 7kN Minor Axis: 7kN Gate Clearance: 19mm

Edelrid Micro 3
Rated to 400kg and only weighs 10g,
and good value at £2.95 a pop.


Edelrid Micro 0
a good guy/tarp option
a weenie 3.5g, 40mm long, Break Load: 100kg
for £2.45 each

I'm afraid I won't be mooting.
I was planning on buying two of the six-packs, thereby getting free delivery.
The packs are multi-colour,

one of each colour.
If I get enough interest for two packs Quixoticgeek has first dibs on the grey ones.
 
If I don't get enough interest to buy two six-packs, I could get just the one and make the order up to fifty quid for free delivery with 4 of these,

The Edelrid Micro 3 is rated to 400kg and only weighs 10g, and good value at £2.95 a pop.

That looks quite a good deal. A while ago I got some DMM phantom crabs - when they were the lightest!, it doesn't seem that long ago but things change. The were more expensive than those edelrid ones and 21g IIRC.

DD Hammocks do an ultra light crab rated to 400g weighing 8g but they are 16.00 a pair.

I've moved on from crabs to toggles and loops for my hammock suspension, but crabs do some in useful for other stuff and *if* your going to trust you weight to something it may as well be fully rated.
 
Better keep a note to self...

I'm having two of the Nineteen G's so there is still 4 up for grabs. BTW, I'm not bothered what colour I end up with (bright ones are easier to find in the undergrowth tho').
 
Still 4 Nineteen G's not spoken for, and whatever folk want of the smaller krabs.

So,
