Spreader

Oh too many jokes. I am going to leave this one up to you.

Spreader without C-links on the ends. The top eyelet never has a C-link, since it is used for clipping a carabiner into.

Attachment at the top of a ladder, used to connect the two sides of the ladder to a single carabiner. Sometimes made from a sling, but normally made from wire with three swaged eyelets, with the carabiner clipped into the middle eyelet. The eyelets that will be connected to a ladder may have optional C-links.
