The Petzl Freino is a twist-lock karabiner that incorporates an integral braking system for improving friction on descenders and belay devices. Works extremely well with the Grigri when using slimmer ropes such as the Beal Booster, which can normally be a struggle. The Freino is ideal for adding or adjusting friction during descents.
The Petzl Freino Z is an automatic locking karabiner with friction spur for use with the Stop and Simple caving descenders. It allows the user to increase or control the braking action of the descent, as well as facilitating the creation of a tie-off. The Freino Z can be rotated in order to make the descender loss-proof when transferred from gear loop to semi-circular karabiner.
