- Carabiner can hold a large quantity of equipment
- D shape offers good handling and ergonomics; shape is designed for gripping with gloves on
- Keylock system avoids any involuntary snagging of the carabiner
- Twistlock mechanism is ideal when quick opening is key (e.g. at the end of a lanyard) and when connecting a grigri to the harness

Functional one handed use has been difficult to achieve in the past. Welcome to the future where Petzl's brilliant engineers have taken this product to the next level of functionality. True one handed security for use in the left or right hand.

Best locker I own

Extremely easy to use locking carabiner. Bought two to use for building anchors. The twist to lock is a super smooth action and has made for super easy set up with all the peace of mind needed in a locker.

Makes attachments more secure

This Twistlock is a great compromise. I find that the screw locks are not as predictable, sometimes not fully disengaged so will not open when wanted. Also, if you get tired or lazy you stop locking the screw locks. The Triact-Lock is harder to open in some cases making it more difficult than the Twistlock. So I use the Twistlock for most of my SRT carabiners.

Favorite Carabiner out of the Bunch
4 years ago
This is my favorite carabiner, hands down. Once you get used to the twistlock mechanism, it's very easy to use. The carabiner itself is just the right size and feels very strong. I always use these with my grigri so I never forget to tighten up the lock.
