The birth of the OvalWire came about from Black Diamond's desire to produce a low-profile, lightweight and easily clippable biner for aid climbers. Lighter and less bulky than Ovals, the OvalWire has a wire gate that resists gate whiplash, won't freeze up and is easy to clip. Sharing all of the same qualities as Black Diamond's classic Ovals, the wiregate versions are lower in profile and lighterùwhich means they can be piled on a rack with reckless abandon. A great biner for aid climbers who require an inexpensive, yet high-tech oval biner.

Product Reviews ...
Black Diamond OvalWires have a classic design with a modern twist a wire gate, making it even lighter than its predecessors. The OvalWires uniform shape prevents shifting when weighting placements.
Big Wallers Rejoice !!
These biners are the bees knees for aid
routes. The claim to a narrower profile is not just propaganda, it's the gospel
truth Brothers and Sisters! These are remarkably more narrow in profile than
standard ovals, which means you can stack them up on your harness like there's
no tomorrow. The difference in weight is noticeable, also. Take 20 of these
clipped together in one hand and compare the weight to 20 standard ovals in the
other. You will be a believer! The only improvement I would LOVE to see is a
keylock gate which would make these the ultimate racking biner. The price is
right, too.
good for racking gear
I use this æbiner mostly for
racking nuts, tricams, small cams, etc. It is lightweight and can carry a lot of
gear. The drawback is that it snags on wires, and that the gate could be
stiffer.
