KONG Ovalone ALU Screw

The oval shape is designed for symmetry, which keeps pulleys, ascenders, and other mobile devices centered and stable. While D-shaped carabiners are stronger, the Ovalone's shape prevents your gear from shifting into awkward positions under load.

The keylock nose eliminates the small notch found on traditional carabiners that often catches on ropes, slings, or harness gear loops. It makes clipping and unclipping significantly smoother and prevents accidental snagging during critical maneuvers.

Yes, with a major axis strength of 26 kN and CE certification, it is built to handle demanding environments. The screw-gate locking mechanism provides a secure, reliable connection, and every unit is individually tested for quality assurance.

The gate opening is 20 mm. While this is sufficient for most standard climbing and rigging ropes, it is best suited for precision tasks with pulleys or specific hardware rather than clipping multiple thick ropes at once.

While it is possible to open it with one hand with practice, the screw-gate is designed as a manual locking system that generally requires two distinct actions: unscrewing the sleeve and pushing the gate. This manual process is intentional to ensure maximum security against accidental opening.
