Petzl OK Oval Aluminum Carabiner (Symmetrical)

I use this for saddle hunting and it's my main connection to the tree tethered to my saddle. I weigh almost 200 pounds and it has held me dangling on the tree at times. Quality is great and the lock feature is a plus.

Great product from a company I’ve been using for years

These are work horse caribeners for the everyday climber.

Petzl is never in question as a product. They have been around forever. They continue to innovate and improve. I am a big fan of the TrAct lock system. I started rope skills when the "locking carabiner" was a fairly new concept and those were screw lock. Twist lock came along and was very convenient but theoretically could come unlocked under forces from a strap or whatever. The TriAct gives you the confidence of a screw lock with the convenience of twist lock.My only weird experience in buying these is probably more about Amazon's interface. They tend to post 3 colors of the carabiner and the 3 gate systems (screw lock, TriAct lock, and ball lock). Occasionally they have non-locking. So i you do the drop-down selection of the color you want and the gate you want, the picture you see may not be what you are looking for. I ordered black carabiners with TriAct lock. The pic was black but showed screw lock.I got what I ordered. I'm fine. It was just a little weird. I did see another review where the person did not get what he was expecting, so I'm not sure what is going on there.Still, I love Petzl products. I have been trusting my life to them since 1984.

I do tree work here and there as a side gig. I have been wanting this along with an eye loop and micro pulley so I could start climbing on more advanced friction hitches. With proper knowledge and training, these make tending slack,moving your tie in, and decending so much faster.

Very nice carabiners. Tri-lock moves and locks properly, just be mindful to select the style you would like.

It's one of two options for connecting zigzag plus to the chicane for SRT. If you have the wrong kind of carabiner it won't fit this one works. I use it for arborist work it's not the one that was in the picture but it's fine. it's black don't use it
