Petzl Owall Carabiner

Item #PTZ0149 | 10 in Stock
5 Star Rating

The Owalls, not just for racking anymore.

By Ranked #933 - Carabiners, Quickdraws, and Belay Devices April 25, 2007

I bought a couple of the owalls primarily for racking my wired pro. They work great, with the keylock gate and all, for racking. However, they are a little beefier than I expected. I suppose the extra weight and girth help attain the high strength rating the biner possesses. Had I been looking strictly for a racking biner I would be a tad disappointed in the owall. However, for rigging hauling systems and other utilities, the owall is perfect. It is a nice working biner and feels good in the hand. I have even purchased a couple of the locking version (and additional non-locking) for these purposes. So, for a great all-around workhorse, the owall has proven to be a great addition to my ever-expanding rack.
