Its D shape directs loading efficiently along the major axis and works well for attaching a belay device, pulley or lanyard. The H-shaped aluminum frame is easy to grip—even with gloves—while the Keylock nose helps prevent snagging during clipping and equipment changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose the SCREW-LOCK version?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manual SCREW-LOCK sleeve can be left unlocked or secured according to the task, and its red visual indicator helps identify an unlocked gate. Petzl specifically recommends this locking system for harsh or contaminated environments where mud, snow or ice could interfere with an automatic locking mechanism. Always inspect the connector and confirm that the gate is fully closed and locked before loading it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features and uses\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact D-shaped connector for belay systems, pulleys and lanyards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH-shaped frame for a strong strength-to-weight ratio and glove-friendly handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeylock nose designed to reduce snagging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall keeper-cord hole for securing compatible equipment such as a TIBLOC or MICRO TRAXION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for climbing anchors, glacier and alpine systems, hauling setups and general rigging within the manufacturer’s instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eReference\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eM39A SL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLocking system\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSCREW-LOCK\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e46 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMajor-axis strength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23 kN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMinor-axis strength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 kN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOpen-gate strength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 kN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGate opening\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCertifications\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCE EN 12275, UIAA, CE EN 362, EAC, GB\/T 23469 \/ B \/ K\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eManufacturer guarantee\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePetzl Sm’D vs Am’D\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose the Sm’D when compact size and low weight are priorities.
