Kong Ovalone Carabiner

Oval carabiners are symmetrical, which makes them ideal for use with pulleys, ascenders, or rope clamps. Because the load is centered, they prevent gear from shifting unexpectedly and ensure your devices stay properly aligned during operation.

Yes, the Keylock system is a significant upgrade over traditional notched gates. It prevents the carabiner from snagging on your rope, harness gear loops, or webbing, making it much faster and smoother to clip and unclip.

With a major axis strength of 26kN, it is robust enough for most standard climbing and rigging applications. However, always verify that the specific load requirements of your system fall within the carabiner's rated strength limits.

It weighs 68 grams. While not the lightest carabiner on the market, its oval shape and durability make it a reliable choice for technical setups where gear alignment is more important than shaving every possible gram.
