The Petzl FREINO Z Twist-Lock Carabiner is an automatic locking carabiner equipped with a friction spur, specifically designed for use with Petzl's STOP (D009AA00) and SIMPLE (D004AA00) caving descenders. This carabiner enhances descent control by providing additional braking action and facilitates the creation of a tie-off. Its design allows for rotation, reducing the risk of dropping the descender when transferring from a gear loop to a semi-circular carabiner.
- Descent Control: The friction spur offers increased braking action during descent, aiding in better control, especially with heavy loads. The rope can be quickly redirected over the friction spur and removed with one hand, ensuring ease of use.
- Ease of Handling: Facilitates the creation of a tie-off. Equipped with a Keylock system to prevent accidental snagging. Features a TWIST-LOCK automatic locking system for quick and secure opening.
- Compatibility: Compatible exclusively with Petzl's STOP (D009AA00) and SIMPLE (D004AA00) caving descenders.
