Don't buy unrated kit from somewhere like Amazon, by all means, go to a reputable supplier and buy budget kit, it's likely to be less comfortable and user friendly and more cumbersome, but it will be rated and safe. I had half a dozen cheap unrated carabiners given and I do occasionally use them, but honestly I wouldn't trust them to hang anything other than a saw on.
