Oval!
Review by: MichaelCohen, 2009-03-17
No matter what you're doing, you always need some extra ovals. These are cheap, strong, durable, you name it.
work-horse

My first biner, and still buying new ones. I climb mostly trad, and find these versatile and durable. Sure they weigh more than the new stuff, but they have a decent kn and can be used for a variety of anchors and rope movements. i dont mind the old design or how other newer biners are "easier" to clip - this guy is tried and true.
cheap

not sure what you can say bad about these.. the weight is just about it. I use these to rack my wired pro, I've had some problems racking wired pro on wiregates, it seems they like to try and escape. It's also nice to have 4 of these to use the biner brake to rap if you drop your belay device. oh, and theyre stupid cheap.

well, they're heavy, hard to clip and not very strong. Plus the inescapable tendency to rotate.
In short there are better options out there for the non aid climber. I am personally replacing my ovals with Dovals with the exception of a few to use for Toprope anchors.
