Petzl
Petzl is a family business that, over the years, has become the largest European manufacturer of personal protective equipment for those who work and play in darkness or at height.
All of their products are invented and developed at their headquarters in the heart of the French Alps.
Petzl aims "to go farther and higher, to work more efficiently, to maximize safety and to make what was inaccessible today accessible tomorrow".
The Petzl Swivel Open provides both direct attachment as well as reduces twist and tangling of ropes and lanyards. The gates located on both sides of the swivel have a large opening, allowing the installation of a range of lanyards, fixed rope terminations, and fixed metal attachment points. The rotation of the swivel is aided with the maintenance free sealed ball bearings.
