PETZL Sm'D Snap Link: The Sm'D is a highly versatile, lightweight, and compact D-shaped carabiner crafted for climbers and adventurers who demand reliability in extreme environments. Its ergonomic D shape ensures efficient handling regardless of orientation—perfect for attaching belay systems, pulleys, or connecting to the end of a lanyard.

The robust aluminum construction delivers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, with a major axis strength of 23 kN, minor axis strength of 8 kN, and an open gate strength of 7 kN. The Sm'D features a keylock system to prevent snagging and an H-shaped profile for a secure grip, even when wearing gloves.

With a gate opening up to 23 mm (varies by locking model), this carabiner is designed for smooth, easy operation. A dedicated hole at the base allows you to tether your Tibloc or Micro-Traxion directly to the carabiner, keeping your gear loss-proof and organized.

The Sm'D is available in several locking mechanisms—including screw-lock, twist-lock, triact-lock, and no-lock—to suit every need, from rapid deployment to secure belaying. Certified to CE EN 12275, UIAA, and CE EN 362 standards, it’s a trusted companion for climbing, ski mountaineering, and rescue applications.
