Product description
Visible safety is what the Am'D Ball-Lock by Petzl has to offer. The D-shaped carabiner features the practical ball lock closure. This system requires you to push the green button on the closure to open the carabiner. Therefore, the probability that the closure will open by accident is extremely low. At the same time, a quick look is enough to see whether the carabiner is locked correctly. When the button turns green, everything is safe. This system is particularly suitable for activities that require you to lock and unlock the carabiner frequently, i.e. sports climbing in the hall and on the rock.The advantage of the D-shape is the easy handling during 180° turns. Those parts of the carabiner under permanent stress are somewhat thicker while the low stress areas are somewhat thinner (which saves weight). The area that holds the rope is considerably thicker than the rest of the Am'D Ball-Lock. Enjoy the climb!

This is what other customers say:
Worked in every belay device I had perfectly fine. The ball lock is significantly easier to open compared to a typical triple action too, and can easily be done with one hand.
