The large size of this pear-shaped Petzl® William locking carabiner is well-suited for belaying and anchoring needs.

  • Larger size allows easy anchoring of multiple ropes and slings as well as belaying both single or double ropes with a Munter hitch
  • 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
  • Large gate opening eases clip in
  • Recommended for dirty and dusty environments that can cause autolocking carabiner mechanisms to malfunction
  • Made of high-strength aluminum rod stock for superior strength and durability

Please note: Petzl products can only be shipped to U.S. addresses.

Made in USA.

    Perfect Belay/Rappel Device

    Pros

    • Wide gate clarence

        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.

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

          Comments about Petzl William Screwgate Carabiner:

          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.

          Pros

          • Large internal area

          Cons

            Best Uses

            • Outdoor climbing
            • Trad Climbing

            Comments about Petzl William Screwgate Carabiner:

            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.

                  Larger Version of Petzl Attache

                  • Keylock
                  • Red "Unlocked" Indicator
                  • Rope-bearing radius

                  Cons

                  • too large

                  Best Uses

                  Comments about Petzl William Screwgate Carabiner:

                  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.

                  Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

                    This Carabiner is easy to use and understand. I just started indoor top rope climbing and the red area is great reminder to screw the carabiner close.

                        Comments about Petzl William Screwgate Carabiner:

                        I enjoyed using a friend's Petzl William locking carabiner while belaying the other day as it was pretty much what I was looking for. It had plenty of room with gear attached to it and it fit the hole in my gri-gri, compared to my other, older, screwgate biners. I also liked the bright red lock indicator making it easier to remember to lock the gate (although I noticed it was starting to fade out). When he asked me if I'd give it back to him. I wanted to say no.

                        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
