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 on Reviewed in the United States March 10, 2026* These are worth every penny and are excellent in professional use during tree jobs. I definitely recommend these to anyone. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent carabiners *by on Reviewed in the United States May 17, 2025* 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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this *by on Reviewed in the United States April 20, 2026* I especially like this one. Great quality of course and great style too. 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.us/products/26397769-amd-asymmetrical-aluminum-carabiner-d-shape-connector-27-kn](https://www.desertcart.us/products/26397769-amd-asymmetrical-aluminum-carabiner-d-shape-connector-27-kn) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-09*
