Petzl is always a reliable brand, although sometimes a bit more spendy, you get what you pay for. When its your life on the line, dont skimp on quality. And these are quality.…

I was at first a bit skeptical about the pin style gate on this... but then it came time to jump on the wall and WOW. These are by far the best and highest quality draws I hav…

This carabiner is a VERY nice locking one. It has the tri-action lock so you can trust that it won't open on its own. A very nice carabiner.…

I use this with my grigri and it is awesome. i keeps the grigri straight and reduces the risks of cross loading much more than the petzl william (still a great carabiner) that…

All of my belay/rappel carabiners are the same and are this model, it's really easy to use and very safe, you can open it with one hand once you get a hold of it and it closes…

Been using this one for 5 years and have never had any issues. Mostly used for belay. Very easy for beginners when teaching.…

I'm buying this to replace on one of my spirit quickdraws that fell but I'm also planning on using it on a daisy as a quick lock. I love the fact that there is no "hole" on th…

Seriously, there are two kinds of people in climbing. Those that like twist-lock gated carabiners and those that like screw gate carabiners. The Petzl William is a gigantic ca…

Auto lock biners are the best! This Petzl Triact-Lock carabiner also comes in a variety of colors, which keeps your gear distinguished from the pack. Excellent price for a rel…

This is a great product. Very lightweight but extremely durable and well designed. The screw-lock indicator is helpful and the screw-lock itself is very easy to spin open or c…

I don't have this carabiner, but a friend of mine does. He's always complaining about how lightweight it is. We constantly go back and forth about who has the better biner, mu…

Great carabiner! Makes best use of its size and I love the red indicator line so you have the confidence when it's locked. Good stuff!!!…

My fav belay biner yet. Doesn't seem to flip around as much as any other I've had. The screw lock is super smooth but needs a little extra crank to stay closed. I've gently…

Great for Aid climbing! No notch! Also really nice for racking nuts~…

Bought one of these for my harness about 3 months ago, and it doesn't really take me. It feels hollow and flimsy for the price you pay, however it's quite light so if that's w…

Pretty awesome carabiner. It does what it was designed to do. Second time I'm purchasing this exact one.…

Personally, I find it finicky and annoying...and buying it was probably a mistake. I also have the screwgate William, which I prefer. It may be a little safer, but it's also h…

Love this carabiner. I love the ball lock, it gives you the extra comfort. I use it as my primary biner b/c it's big, but it also fits in my hand very nicely.…

I always love those classic design of Petzl, so when I need a belay carabiner, no need to think twice. This one provide very smooth/percise screw action, the red lock indicat…

It is very useful for closing harness with two attachement points. Just one little thing... With petzl caving harness it doesnt keep it position all the time…

I love the D shape. Super easy for quick belay set up. I like the gradual smooth flow and overall design. Has a greater major axis strength than some other reputable D style b…

I bought it for my double pulley since it's as close to oval as you can get. I'm not really a big fan of twist locks compared to screw locks, but I'm sure it's safe. It's pret…

Absolutely solid draws. The sling is thick and beefy, the Petzl string keeps the rope end carabiner from moving, and the carabiners themselves are great. Awesome gate tension,…

Super easy to clip. The rope doesn't snag on the keylock. Great safety ratings. Obviously engineered by some form of higher intelligence.…

This device creates an extra friction point for lowering folks on skinny ropes. I can't see using a 9.5 without either a pair of good gloves or a Freino. Plus, it's mildly e…

Works great with the Petzl FiFi hook when soloing that big wall and you want to use the sporty haul system. Downside of the sporty system is if the FiFi hook fails, the haulba…
