Petzl FREINO Z (TWIST-LOCK) Carabiner

The Petzl FREINO Z (TWIST-LOCK) is an aluminium carabiner with an integrated friction spur and an automatic TWIST‑LOCK gate. It is aimed at cavers, rescue technicians and users who need controlled rope braking with the option of one‑handed redirection or secure tie‑offs.

Benefits

• The integrated friction spur increases braking and allows finer control of descent speed.
• Rotatable body reduces the risk of dropping the descender when moving between attachment points.
• Automatic TWIST‑LOCK gate provides fast, reliable locking without a manual secondary action.
• Keylock nose helps prevent snagging when handling rope and equipment.
• Facilitates easy tie‑offs for hands‑free rope control.

Typically used with self‑locking descenders and devices such as STOP or SIMPLE during technical descents, caving work and rescue operations.
