These are great for everything. I use them to rack stoppers and keep my gear organized on longer climbs.

Simple, strong, light, quality, cheap. I have nothing bad to say about this carabiner. It has many uses from anchors to just racking up gear.

Go out and get one, or ten!

These are a standard for racking trad gear on your harness. They help keep jumbles of stoppers, slings, cams, etc., organized and accessible. The wiregate shaves some weight off a rack versus a solid gate oval. To my knowledge, the only other wiregate oval on the market is the Omega Pacific Doval.

Ovals are also typically used in aid climbing, but since I don't aid, I can't comment on the BD's performance for that purpose.

These biner's are sweet. I have a bunch of them on stoppers, hexes, and cams. The oval wire is an affordable high quality biner that will stand the test.

Great product! Easy one hand use, and still lite weight for it's size. I use them on all my runners. This is a very good all-around biner.

The gate opens pretty wide so they're good for racking a cordalette. Good all purpose utility biner - probably not for hard leads though - the direction of the gate opening is not easily/quickly felt in your hand.

You need them for racking, and these are most definitely the most versatile carabiners you can buy.

These biners are very large and hold a lot. Great for racking nuts or hexs. The cliping action is also very smooth and nice. The only down side is they are a bit large, but what do you expect buying an oval.

these are great biners i love them for racking stoppers and other bulk gear, i also love these for throwing a sling in there and making some alpine draws. they are light, cheap, sexy and the wire gates wont freeze up on you. just buy ten and have them handy!

The cheapest biner out there...great for racking gear.

bomber strong, pretty light. Makes for great earrings!!

Best and lightest oval. Slim profile. Excellent for racking and multi-purpose.

lightweight, cheap, strong, and a nice wide opening. What more do you want? rack it up!
if you want to get picky, complain about the lack of keynose- and then take out a 2nd mortgage to rack with those

Solid/uniform racking, lightweight biner. BD quality, good price. As with most symmetrical carabiners, you'd thank yourself for marking the top or bottom.

Great all around, the price is right. They're light and get the job done. The Gate opens nice and wide so it is suitable for many different functions.

These are great for slings and such, I would like them better if they had the KEY LOCK system that BD has available on other carabiners, but for the price you just cant complain.
