    REI Members get back an estimated 10% on this item as part of their annual member refund.

    The REI Member Dividend

    The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

    Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

    Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

    Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

    The asymmetrical shape of the Am'D screwgate carabiner makes it one of the strongest carabiners in Petzl®'s line-up.

    • Ideal for everything from setting up anchors to belaying, the traditional screwgate locking method makes this carabiner extremely versatile
    • Unique, patented Keylock gate uses a key-shaped nose on carabiner and slot-shaped gate to create a strong, snag-free closure
    • Manual screwgate system features red band indicator to show carabiner is unlocked, providing a quick visual safety check
    • Recommended for dirty and dusty environments that can cause autolocking carabiner mechanisms to malfunction
    • Large gate opening eases clip in; asymmetric shape helps ensure proper loading on optimal working axis and offers a superb strength to weight ratio
    • Made of high-strength aluminum rod stock for superior strength and durability

        Comments about Petzl Am'D Screwgate Carabiner:

        every piece of gear has a different use and you don't buy this for a light weight carabiner to clip onto pro, or belaying or for racking your belay gloves to your pack. This is a workhouse carabiner. I've got a lot of use out my 3 for everything from multipitch anchor building, to using as the basework for toprope anchors when we're at the local crag. Versatile. Versatile. Versatile. Not designed to do everything, but then again which carabiner is? definitely worth throwing at least 2 or 3 of these if not more.

          Comments about Petzl Am'D Screwgate Carabiner:

          I bought these carabiners strictly for setting top ropes and after only a few months they are showing considerable wear from rope drag. For the price I would've thought they would last a lot longer.
          I have Omegas that are nearly two years old and showing little if any wear.

          Good Top-Roping Anchor 'Biner

          Pros

          • Rope-bearing radius

          Cons

            Best Uses

            • Toproping

            Comments about Petzl Am'D Screwgate Carabiner:

            The Petzl Am'D, used in pairs, makes an excellent 'biner for top-rope anchors. Two Am'Ds, oriented opposite each other, lie flat and provide a good rope-bearing surface for top-roping.

            Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

                Comments about Petzl Am'D Screwgate Carabiner:

                Love this carabiner! I'm not sure why...because there isn't too much of a difference in carabiners. They all do the same thing right?
                I really like the shape, the feel of it, they way it looks, and especially the ease of locking it. The screw gate is so smooth but yet it locks firmly. Again, I also like the shape too! :)
                It's a good buy...especially for the money!!
