Petzl OK Ball-Lock

The Petzl OK BALL-LOCK is an oval aluminium carabiner with an automatic locking system. Its symmetrical shape helps position equipment such as pulleys and rope clamps. It is particularly useful where connected components need to sit evenly within the carabiner. Suitability must always be checked against the instructions for every component in the system.

This version has manufacturer reference M33A BL. Its BALL-LOCK mechanism uses a triple-action opening sequence and includes a lock indicator. This distinguishes it from the OK versions with a screw sleeve or TRIACT-LOCK mechanism. The Keylock design reduces snagging when connecting or removing equipment, while the H-shaped cross-section helps keep the carabiner light.

Petzl lists a weight of 75 g and a gate opening of 23 mm for this version. The stated strengths are 25 kN on the major axis, 8 kN on the minor axis and 7 kN with the gate open. These test ratings do not replace correct use or a functional inspection.

Before each use, inspect the body, gate and locking mechanism as described in Petzl's instructions. Use only compatible equipment and ensure you have the necessary training. Damage, uncertain operation or an unknown history requires proper assessment; this product description is not a substitute for the manufacturer's inspection and retirement criteria.
