Petzl Am'D Locking Carabiner

Item #PTZ0129 | 573 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Very safe, a little awkward

By Ranked #543 - Carabiners, Quickdraws, and Belay Devices October 28, 2009

I find this biner a bit awkward. After using it several times, it's still taking me two hands to get it to open, but I feel confident that I'll get used to it and I consider it safer than the screw versions which I can be prone to forget about closing. So, works for me.
