Omega Pacific has grown tired of the same old anodized finishes and have decided to mix things up a bit! Due to the unique finishing process, no two carabiners will have the exact same coloring. By utilizing a precise hot forging process, Omega Pacific is able to achieve the perfect compromise between strength and weight. Although hot forging is a more costly and time consuming process when compared to cold forging, the end results are much more favorable. Manufacturing in this manner allows them to remove weight where it is not needed and add material along the spine to boost strength and durability. The oval shape allows for proper orientation and helps to limit load shifting. The combination of the key lock nose and smooth 3 stage gate action make this connector a must have for any serious work at height professional.
