I definitely recommend these to anyone. Review: Excellent carabiners - Most everything I’ve ever tried from Petzl is quality that you can trust with your life. They’re made very well and are quite light weight. I use these carabiners with my Petzl ZigZag tree device and they fit perfectly, as the ZZ is made to fit Petzl biners. The locking is smooth and intuitive. I’m left handed (I only have my left. Was born right, but I Lost my right to an ied in the military) and they’re not quite as nice as I’m sure they are for a right handed person. But still easy to use. There’s a pin at the bottom of the gate that’s a bit sharp that rubs my thumb web. But they’re catered to righty’s and I just have to make it work. ## Features - OPTIMIZED D-SHAPE: The asymmetrical D-shape is ideal for connecting belay devices, descenders, and positioning lanyards, naturally guiding the load to the major axis (strongest point). - HIGH STRENGTH RATING: Rated to 27 kN on the major axis, providing exceptional reliability for a lightweight aluminum connector (70-75g). - SNAG-FREE CLIPPING: Features a Keylock nose (no hook) and a fluid interior design to prevent snagging on webbing, ropes, or bolt hangers. - LOCKING VARIETY: Choose from SCREW-LOCK (Red Indicator), TRIACT-LOCK (Lift+Twist), BALL-LOCK (Push Button+Twist), or TWIST-LOCK (Twist Only) to suit your specific safety needs. - TACTICAL OPTIONS: Available in standard Gray/Yellow for visibility or matte Black (N series) for tactical and stage rigging environments. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01ANZF4N4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #34,912 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #27 in Locking Climbing Carabiners | | Brand | PETZL | | Brand Name | PETZL | | Color | Gray | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 170 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 03342540102453 | | Included Components | Carabiner | | Item Weight | 75 Grams | | Lock Type | Triact Lock | | Manufacturer | Petzl | | Material | Aluminum | | Material Type | Aluminum | | Recommended Uses For Product | Climbing | | Shape | D-Shape | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 3 Year Manufacturer | ## Product Details - **Brand:** PETZL - **Color:** Gray - **Item Weight:** 75 Grams - **Material:** Aluminum - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Climbing ## Images ![Am'D Asymmetrical Aluminum Carabiner - D-Shape Connector (27 kN) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61nlfkpg-gL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the difference between “one size”, “screw lock” and “triact lock”??** A: Not sure about one size, screw lock- it has a s screw lock on the gate of the carabiner, and tract lock is a triple locking action on a carabiner. **Q: I would like to purchase 5 caribeners that have the green button dual lock system. which option do i choose? one size, screw lock or triact?** A: The one you are looking for is the ball lock, which we currently do not have. We have the screw lock in stock. **Q: will this work with a Sterling ATS?** A: I am familiar with the Sterling ATS, but have not tried to use the Petzl with it. I suspect it will work/fit the connection hole in the Sterling. **Q: This picture is not the petzl am'd pin lock, which product would i receive the am'd pin lock or the boll lock shown?** A: You would receive an AM'D Pin-Lock. We're working with Amazon to have that image corrected. Thanks! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent *by A***I on March 10, 2026* These are worth every penny and are excellent in professional use during tree jobs.

The auto-triple-locking function for me is indispensable, I don't want any other carabiners for the most part without it. ## Frequently Bought Together - PETZL, AM'D Carabiner - PETZL, OK Carabiners - PETZL - William, Locking Carabiner for Belaying --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/26397769-amd-asymmetrical-aluminum-carabiner-d-shape-connector-27-kn](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/26397769-amd-asymmetrical-aluminum-carabiner-d-shape-connector-27-kn) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-30*
