Petzl Omni Lock

The Omni is a semi-circle connector designed specifically for closing harnesses that require two attachment points to be joined. It is not a standard carabiner for general climbing use but rather a specialized piece of hardware for specific harness configurations.

Yes, the Omni is engineered for multi-axis loading. Unlike standard carabiners that are designed to be loaded along their major axis, the Omni's semi-circle geometry allows it to be loaded across all three axes safely, with a strength rating of 15 kN in all directions.

The Screw-Lock (SL) version uses a manual screw-gate that you must lock yourself, while the Triact-Lock (TL) is an automatic locking system that requires three distinct movements to open. The Triact-Lock is generally preferred for high-security applications where you want to ensure the gate cannot be accidentally opened.

Yes, the Omni features a Keylock nose, which creates a snag-free interface. This design ensures that the carabiner won't catch on your harness, rope, or other gear during clipping and unclipping.
