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 MGO Open is a wide opening connecter for securing to larger diameter bars and cables. The auto locking mechanism makes using the MGO Open easy and convenient when crossing between structures and fixed attachments.
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.
The Petzl Freino Z is a karabiner that has an added friction spur for adding or adjusting friction during descents. It features the Petzl Triact-Lock automatic locking system and is easy to use. When rotated, it makes the descender loss-proof when transferred from the equipment loop to the ventral attachment point or anchor. The Freino Z is compatible with the I’D S, I’D L, I’D EVAC and RIG self-braking descenders.
The Petzl Omni fills a niche market for semi-circular, alloy karabiners. They are primarily used for securing harnesses that use two attachment points that must be connected (such as the Petzl Super Avanti) or where there is likely to be a 3-way load. This multi-directional karabiner is available in two locking systems, the automatic Triact-Lock and the manual Screw-Lock.
The Petzl OK Oval has been designed for use with pulleys, but is also very useful as a general purpose karabiner at belays and for caving cow-tails. It has an oval shape that allows optimal loading of devices with a wide cross-section, such as pulleys, rope clamps and mobile fall arresters. This lightweight karabiner is made of aluminium and it is available in three different locking systems.
The Petzl Caritool is a non-PPE rated karabiner designed for carrying extra tools/equipment on your harness. It's lightweight yet durable and is the ideal answer for those needing to carry more gear or organise their rack. They are particularly useful for racking Ice Screws such as the Black Diamond Express. The tooth clip means it will slide on to the harness easily without it moving around once it's on.
The Petzl Am'D karabiner is great for most uses and thanks to its D-shape it's one of the strongest and lightest locking carabiners out there. The 'D-shape' has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of all karabiner designs. The shape and size of the AM'D is great for most uses, such as connecting a belay device to your harness or as a connector at the end of a lanyard. The D-shape makes it one of the strongest and lightest locking carabiners Petzl makes.
