Description of PETZL Petzl Caritool P42 M

Design allows one-handed selection and return of tools. Slips in through the harness straps and stays in place, thanks to its stabilizing clip. Hole on top for attaching a tether to tools.

Lightweight, durable, bright

I use a home/car key clip to keep my keys on my bag. First I used the Black Diamond clip which is all gray but then I found a clip with a yellow tint that I like better. I've also used my Black Diamond for ice climbing, but since I didn't get it until the summer, I haven't tried strapping on my ice tools yet.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • When in doubt

Iron Man approved.

These things are surprisingly powerful. I have no problem attaching rope grabs to it when flying around the site. They'll also fit a Milwaukee punch or drill for when you need your hands free. I was worried they wouldn't, but despite the snug fit, power tools fit and won't fall out when hanging high and tapping. Anyway, this metal lady agrees.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Almost never

Climbing and Ice Equipment

Ever since I've used them, I can't imagine them ice climbing. Each of these holds six bolts, so two holders can handle almost any incline I would climb. While these are great, from time to time the gate will appear or disappear entirely as you spin. I had to change about one a season. The aluminum version of this could be a winner. I have several holders without goals. If anyone knows where I can find a replacement gate I can get it up and running again.

Pros
  • Excellent Overall Performance
Cons
  • Safety
