Petzl Omni Aluminum Carabiner

Unlike standard carabiners designed to be loaded primarily along the major axis, the Omni is shaped to handle loads in multiple directions. This makes it ideal for specific setups like connecting a lanyard to a harness or attaching a pulley, where the carabiner might shift during use.

The SCREW-LOCK is a manual system that requires you to screw the sleeve shut, which is reliable but requires active attention. The TRIACT-LOCK is an automatic system that locks as soon as you release the gate, making it a safer, more convenient choice for frequent opening and closing.

The H-frame construction allows Petzl to remove excess material from non-load-bearing areas without sacrificing strength. This results in a carabiner that is significantly lighter to carry on your harness while maintaining the high durability required for rope access.

The Omni features a keylock system, which is a smooth, notch-free nose design. This prevents the carabiner from catching on ropes, slings, or your harness gear loops when you are clipping or unclipping.

Yes, the visual indicator is a red band that remains visible when the gate is unlocked. It provides a quick, at-a-glance safety check to ensure you have fully engaged the locking mechanism before putting weight on the system.
