Petzl William Screw Gate Carabiner

The Petzl William carabiner is a lightweight, asymmetric, large - capacity wonder crafted from aluminum. Its pear - shaped design is super practical, offering a large capacity and a wide opening. This makes it a breeze to connect multiple items and even allows for Munter hitch use during an escape. With a fluid interior design, it minimizes the risk of catch points and eases the carabiner's rotation. The Keylock system is a great addition, preventing any accidental snagging. The H cross - section not only ensures an excellent strength - to - weight ratio but also protects markings from abrasion. Available in three locking systems - the automatic TRIACT - LOCK or BALL - LOCK (the latter with a lock indicator), and the manual SCREW - LOCK with a red band for a visual warning when unlocked. Weighing just 85 g, it has a major axis strength of 27 kN, minor axis strength of 8 kN, and open gate strength of 8 kN. The gate opening is 28 mm.

Using the Petzl William carabiner is easy. To connect items, simply open the gate and clip them on. When using the SCREW - LOCK system, make sure to screw the lock tightly to avoid accidental opening. For the automatic locking systems, just operate the gate as normal. When doing a Munter hitch, the wide opening of the pear - shaped design will make the process smooth. As for maintenance, regularly check the carabiner for any signs of wear or damage, especially around the gate and locking mechanism. Keep it clean by wiping it with a dry cloth. Avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures as this can affect its strength. If you notice any issues, stop using it immediately and consider replacing it.
