Petzl Am'D Carabiner

The asymmetrical D shape is specifically designed to orient the carabiner correctly when connected to equipment like descenders or positioning lanyards. This shape helps keep your gear aligned and stable during use.

The H-profile design optimizes the strength-to-weight ratio, allowing the carabiner to be lightweight without sacrificing durability. Additionally, the recessed profile helps protect the carabiner's markings from abrasion over time.

The Keylock system features a smooth, snag-free interface between the gate and the carabiner body. This prevents the carabiner from catching on ropes, slings, or your harness when you are clipping or unclipping.

Your choice depends on your specific activity. Screw-lock is best for environments where you don't need to open the gate frequently, while automatic options like Twist-lock, Triact-lock, or Ball-lock are better for frequent, one-handed operation where security is paramount.

Yes, the Am'D is certified to CE EN 362 and NFPA 1983 Technical Use standards, making it appropriate for professional work-at-height applications and technical rescue scenarios.

The gate opening is 25 mm. This width is sufficient for most standard equipment connections, but it is worth checking if you frequently use thick ropes or bulky attachment points that might require a larger clearance.
