The Petzl Freino is a twist-lock karabiner that incorporates an integral braking system for improving friction on descenders and belay devices. Works extremely well with the Grigri when using slimmer ropes such as the Beal Booster, which can normally be a struggle. The Freino is ideal for adding or adjusting friction during descents.
The Petzl Omni fills a niche market for semi-circular, alloy karabiners. They are primarily used for securing harnesses that use two attachment points that must be connected (such as the Petzl Super Avanti) or where there is likely to be a 3-way load. This multi-directional karabiner is available in two locking systems, the automatic Triact-Lock and the manual Screw-Lock.
The Petzl OK Oval has been designed for use with pulleys, but is also very useful as a general purpose karabiner at belays and for caving cow-tails. It has an oval shape that allows optimal loading of devices with a wide cross-section, such as pulleys, rope clamps and mobile fall arresters. This lightweight karabiner is made of aluminium and it is available in three different locking systems.
