Stronger than we expected. Commonly used in caving the Petzl Rack desender doesn’t have a rating, but would rarely see more than 2 kN in normal use. We locked off the descender and expected the rope to break, but instead, the descender didn’t fail till 16.77 kN. The Petzl Omni Tri-Act is designed to hold higher forces in more directions than a normal carabiner. While a normal aluminum carabiner is rated to 8 kN when cross-loaded, this is rated to 15 kN, and it got 27.15 kN in our test. Pull some
