Specifications:
The DMM PerfectO Straight Gate is a true oval, compact karabiner that maintains the ease of use (even one-handed). Its shape provides effective centring of loads and the fully rounded rope bearing areas increase carabiner and rope longevity.
The DMM Ultra O is a karabiner with symmetrical rope baskets, this makes it ideal for assisted breaking devices, pulleys, swivels and shackles. Oval karabiners allow pulleys to sit in an equalised position, the symmetrical shape also lessens the chance of shifting under load and potentially dislodging a marginal gear placement. The Ultra O is the perfect climbing aid!
The Beal O'Light is an oval shaped aluminium karabiner for use with equipment that has swivelling side plates. The shape of this karabiner is designed to easily connect double flange equipment such as pulleys, blockers and mobile fall arresters. It also has a keylock system and each carabiner has an individual number that guarantees its traceability.
The Black Diamond Oval Keylock is the iconic, symmetrical Oval has stood the test of time, and will now remain essential to your rack due to the new Keylock snag-free design. With its large rope-bearing surface, improved ease of use, and smooth uniform shape that reduces carabiner shift, the Oval will continue to get the job done on the world’s hardest big walls.
The DMM Ultra O Screwgate is an extremely symmetrical oval climbing carabiner, ideal for use with assisted belay devices, pulleys, swivels and shackles. Some oval carabiners are not as symmetrical as others, making them less useful for their designed purpose. The DMM Ultra O Coloured 3-Pack includes three different colours of the Ultra O screwgate carabiners.
Maillon Rapides have a working load limit that is a fifth of the breaking load of the maillon (as stated by the manufacturer) and will become damaged and distorted if they are used above this load limit. Some are certified as PPE (to protect falls from height) and some are not. If you are unsure of which is which, either ask us, or have a look at your maillon which will be marked with "PPE" if it is and "CE" if it is not. CE maillons conform to Maillon Rapide's standards but are not certified as PPE.
The OCUN Osprey Screw Karabiner is a hot-forged carabiner of classic oval shape suitable for technical and big wall climbing. It's invaluable on working with pulleys. The utility value of this carabiner is increased by Ocún’s typical rope friendly shape of the upper profile, which makes the Osprey usable for HMS belaying in case of an emergency. If climbers owned just one carabiner, it should be the Osprey.
