Like it’s brother the Force D, the Force Oval offers a first-class strength to weight ratio, and solid dependability thanks to the ISO Cold Forging process developed by Omega Pacific. SMC continues to make sure this tried and true carabiner maintains its quality and reliability, no matter the application. The Force Oval carabiner offers multiple advantages over it’s D shaped cousin. The rounded external radius of the carabiner moves easily through hardware, and won’t catch on webbing or other soft connections. And the symmetrical oval design offers predictable loading, making them perfect for aid climbing and rescue, where you don’t want any load shifts when weighted. Also, the smooth internal curves of the oval offer a snag-free surface that is the perfect interface for ropes, webbing, and other soft goods. Like the Force D, the Force Oval offers a effective and effortless Screw-lock version. This version is the perfect and affordable addition to the top-rope system for your local crag, or backup carabiner in your rescue bag.
