Comments about Petzl Freino Auto-locking Carabiner:

I bought this for my girlfriend who is always having trouble lowering me hoping it would help and now she can't see how she lived without it. It's doesn't have to much versatility as far as a normal carabiner but for single pitch sport or trad with a grigri it is great. We've been using it almost every day for about a year now and it shows almost no signs of wear.

Comments about Petzl Freino Auto-locking Carabiner:

This biner was great for my wife who had concerns lowering climbers heavier than herself while using a Gri-Gri indoors. Lowering with the Freino gave that little bit of extra friction she needed to be able to control the lower without resorting to the cam lever (i.e. like an ATC). The only con with this biner is that its use is limited to lowering with a Gri- Gri. But for that, it's terrific.
