"Perfect all-around clip and not too pricy!" - Review of Black Diamond Oval Carabiner

I use these things kayaking, hiking, camping, everything! The oval is the very nicest biner to hold onto tightly, and for that purpose I use these for my rope ascents together with the Petzl tibloc ascender. They are super durable, and rather bulky so you know you're not going to kill them using them for somewhat stupid things (lifting an engine out of a Ford Escort for example). Great basic biner.
