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.

Comments about Petzl Oval Screw Link:

I think everyone should have at least one bail biner on there harness. Better than loosing a [$] quickdraw on an outdoor wall, and can also be used to suppliment chain anchors.

Comments about Petzl Oval Screw Link:

It gets the job done. Don't for get to bring a 12mm wrench! If you over tighten the nut it can develop burs, so don't crank it down.

Comments about Petzl Oval Screw Link:

I use these links for fixed anchors on outdoor routes. Sure, hardware store links work and are significantly cheaper but aren't rated to anywhere near the strength of these links. Most importantly for me, I have a number of carabiners with a "keeper pin" to keep the biner from being removed. These links are the only links I've found slim enough to fit in the space between the keeper pin and the biner's spine.

I would not recommend these links as a bail biner. The size makes it hard to feed the rope through it directly. A simple aluminum carabiner is cheaper and easy to use as a bail biner.
