Side topic. What are oval biners even for? I had to paint the opening ends of mine the other day after getting so annoyed trying to open the ****************ers.

Ehh... I don't think those count.

I mean, 4kN, of course they're still "super good enough" for some things... but still...

Oval non-lockers are best for racking trad gear.

 

Oval lockers are great for obfuscating which way is up or down in photos for The Gram so you don't get people wagging their fingers about orientation.

For racking wires or whatever, I can't think of anything worse, I'd be opening the wrong end 110% of the time.
