    • Manual screwgate system features red band indicator to show carabiner is unlocked, providing a quick visual safety check
    • Large gate opening eases clip in
    • Recommended for dirty and dusty environments that can cause autolocking carabiner mechanisms to malfunction

        Comments about Petzl William Screwgate Carabiner:

        This is a wonderful workhorse carabiner. It is asymmetrical enough to load the spine in anchor building scenarios, but pear-shaped (HMS) enough to to accomodate a Munter and a Mammut Smart Alpine belay device. Its size makes it easy to handle (even with gloves on). Great product.

          Petzl really knows how to make a fine "true-pear shape," "symmetrical," workhorse, locking carabiner.

            Great belay carabiner. Its huge and easy to use. It also has red paint that indicates if it isn't locked.

                As for why you want this over the attache. The larger version is great for using the munter for belaying or double munter for rappelling.

                    Comments about Petzl William Screwgate Carabiner:

                    This is ideal for a belay biner. I saw a comment about it being larger than the Attache and questioning the need. I find that rapping on doubles often the larger size is very convenient. I use an attache also but tend to use it more for anchors. With that said if you use a gri gri the attache is the better choice.

                      I just started rock climbing. This was the first locking Carabiner that i bought. I find it easy to use and the red stripe is helpful in letting you know when it is not locked. It has been good for belaying and repelling. I have since bought three more and use them lots.

                        The Petzl William biner is excellent for building anchors in multi-pitch trad climbing. The large size and large gate opening makes it easy to quickly make multiple attachments to the anchor.

                              This biner is really big and heavy, Grigris don't go through it very easily. Never the less, it is great for belaying.

                              The Petzl William is a larger alternative to the Petzl Attache, which is the best belay 'biner available. The William possesses the same keylock gate and red safety indicator. Unfortunately, I cannot figure out why anyone would need a bigger version of the Attache.
