The carabiner seems like a piece of hardware that will endlessly be experimented with. This Heroclip, by outdoor equipment manufacturer Gear Aid, is a carabiner with a little extra: A swing-out hook, mounted to a pivot point. A rubber foot on the business end of the hook allows it to grip horizontal surfaces.
It comes in four sizes, with the smallest able to support 40 lbs, the largest, 100 lbs. Prices range from $18 to $28.

You should do an article on how oddly similar the Gear Aid logo is to the Gerber knives logo..
that was my first thought too
These are very cool but also not new. I've had a bunch of these in my garage for years now. Still cool though.
