DMM have finally produced an oval carabiner.

Typically they've raised the bar, or at least made it into a girder, on oval carabiners.

The bodies are hot forged with I-beam panels and keylock noses with a major axis strength of 25kN and a minor axis strength of 12kN. Perhaps the ultimate carabiner for rigging pulley systems.

It is, perhaps surprisingly, a superb belay carabiner with a really wide, 9.75mm rope radius that is kind to ropes - the beauty is it does not matter if the carabiner inverts in your belay loop and it has a really high cross loading strength.

Totally anodised with a gate that has rivet in a contrasting colour for easy recognition of the gate opening end.

We stock the Ultra O with a Screwgate, we think it's still the best locking system.
