| The Oz is the world's lightest carabiner. Thats all. If your racking lots of gear this could be the 'biner for you. |
| The Oz may be lighter than normal, however, it is also weaker than any other 'biner to come out this year. With a horizontal load strength of 20kn this is what Black Diamond calls new innovation. This author believes that lighter 'biners shouldn't be made at the expensive of their strength. |

| some people i've climbed with don't feel comfortable using these featherweight biners, but they are rated to 20 kN... they're strong. |

| Small and awkward to handle. The shape doesn't fit the hand well. Has the lowest breaking force of any production carabiner. |

| Light, strong, nice to use. Strong, too - only 20kN closed-gate, but so what? Open-gate is a phenomenal 9kN, and that's the only metric that matters on a non-locker. |
| It's small, which may not work great for people with large hands. |
