From Backcountry.com:
"Ever done a really long rappel with a heavy pack? Remember death-gripping the rope and praying for it to end? The Petzl Freino Carabiner is specifically designed to make grueling rappels more comfortable. Use the Freino with your belay device like normal. When you get further down the line and it's getting harder to hang on, just re-direct your break hand through the spur to increase the friction for a nice controlled descent. *For use with single ropes only."

From REI:
"Add an extra measure of safety and convenience to your braking system with this locking 'biner--its gated spur enhances braking friction. Integrated wire-gate spur on the spine improves braking friction when used with a Petzl® Simple, Stop, I'D, Grigri or Huit descenders. Simply run your rope through the spur to add additional braking power to your descent or when lowering a climbing partner. Keylock system uses a notchless nose on the carabiner frame and a slotted gate to create a strong, snag-free closure. Low-profile, metallic locking sleeve quickly snaps into locked position. Not for use with tube or slot-type belay devices such Petzl Reverso and Black Diamond® ATC."

From RockCreek:
