    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.

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

              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.
