KONG DNA Carabiner Ovalone Autoblock

The helical design allows the carabiner to rotate 90 degrees. This is specifically engineered to keep connected devices properly oriented, which is essential when managing offset loads or preventing equipment from twisting during use.

To open the gate, you must perform a specific sequence: lift the sleeve, rotate it, and then pull the gate open. This three-step process is designed to prevent accidental openings, providing an extra layer of security in high-stakes environments.

Yes. It is constructed from durable carbon steel and is ANSI certified, meaning it meets rigorous safety standards required for professional, demanding applications.

The oval shape provides a symmetrical load distribution, which is ideal for use with pulleys or ascenders. Combined with the helical twist, it ensures your gear stays centered and stable rather than shifting to the gate side.

While the three-motion autoblock is designed for maximum security, it can be slightly more challenging to operate with one hand compared to a standard screw-gate. It is best suited for tasks where safety and orientation are the top priorities.
