Here's what other sites are saying:

From RockCreek:
"The Petzl William Ball Lock Carabiner is one of the best suited biners for double rope belaying, guiding, or when using a munter hitch. With a huge wide top, and large opening gate, you can get a ton of webbing, cordelette or rope inside, which is awesome for belay stations with clients or friends. The pear shape of the biner allows for belaying with a Munter Hitch on single or double ropes. The key lock nose and gate is super efficient with no snagging and makes for clipping into anything very easy and clean."

From EMS:
"Petzl's William Ball-Lock is a pear-shaped carabiner with a large opening and an automatic locking system. Suitable for organizing at belays and belaying with a Munter hitch. Large size to allow anchoring of several ropes and slings. Large opening. Wide pear shape facilitates belaying with a Munter hitch on single or double ropes. Keylock System (snag-free body / gate interface)."

"This carabiner, the Petzl William Ball-lock is the metal sleeve successor to the plastic-sleeved ball-lock. This is my primary locking carabiner, which I use with belay devices, with munters (it is an HMS, designed to take munters readily, even on double ropes), and many other situations."
