From Backcountry.com:
"The Petzl Attache Locking Carabiner combines a medium size with a snag-free Keylock gate to make it an incredibly versatile choice for sport, trad, and big wall climbing. Its round-stock aluminum provides a smooth feed when you use it with traditional belay devices, and the Attache Carabiner's large basket accepts multiple slings and ropes at cluttered belays."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"One of the leading locking carabiners on the market, the Petzl Attache Screw-Lock Carabiner is designed for easy use when belaying. The compact pear shape facilitates belaying single ropes with a Munter hitch, and is enhanced with a snag-free Keylock gate system. Lightweight and smooth to handle, the Attache simply makes belaying easier."

From RockCreek:
"The Attache Screw-Lock Carabiner by Petzl is designed to be used primarily for belaying. With a pear shape, it has plenty of room for clipping into the entire harness (leg loops and upper belt), as well as a key lock system that provides a snag free interaction. If you aren't using it to belay it is a great biner for anchors as well, because since the nose has no indention, it is easy to get in and out of the bulk of webbing used in most belay systems. With the screw-lock feature, you can tell if you have locked the biner with its "red your dead" line that stands out when you look down. Safe and easy to use, this is the biner to get if you are looking for a locking, belay biner."

"The Attache screw-lock served as my standard HMS carabiner for a number of years until the William series came out. I still use it for a lot of anchor situations when teaching climbing instructors and for glacier travel. It accommodates 10. 5mm and smaller diameter ropes for Munters and muled Munters quite nicely, though muling a device (like an ATC) can be a bit tight on the larger diameter ropes."
