Petzl Am'D Locking Carabiner

My favorite screw-gate locking biner

By Backcountry.com Employee Professional Athlete December 15, 2009

Smooooth screw-gate, big enough to get a lot of rope/sling in there. Has a more "solid" feel than my Black Diamond Rocklock. They're both safe, of course.

I also like the added touch of the red paint that *only* shows when this biner is not locked. I don't need a feature like that to keep me alive, of course, but it's an extra safety measure that has no real downside.
