William Screw-Lock
Reviewed by Bill S, Aug 15, 2007

"The William carabiners are HMS carabiners (meaning they are designed with using them with a Munter hitch in mind). For a screw-lock, this one is excellent (but then, with a name like "William", how could someone like me, named William, consider it to be anything less than excellent?)."
