"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I’ve used Oval carabiners forever, but the new keylock design on these makes a huge difference—no more snagging on gear loops or chains. They’re bomber for racking, hauling, and aid climbing setups. Classic shape, way better function."" The Black Diamond Oval Keylock Carabiner 3-Pack brings a modern twist to one of climbing’s most iconic tools. Long favored for aid climbing, racking gear, and managing complex systems, the Oval’s symmetrical shape prevents shifting under load, while its uniform profile allows for smooth operation and stability on crowded anchors. Now upgraded with a snag-free keylock nose, the carabiner clips and unclips without catching on gear loops, slings, or bolts—keeping transitions clean and frustration-free. With a generous gate opening, 23kN closed strength, and a weight of just 58 grams, these carabiners are still the workhorse of big wall and trad climbers alike—only better."
