Presto
The Petzl PRESTO is a pear-shaped steel screw link, sold under reference P10, built for rope access, rescue and rigging crews who need a compact, hand-tightened connector rather than a locking carabiner.
A screw link like the PRESTO joins two pieces of soft goods, or connects a rope or sling to an anchor, at a point meant to be threaded closed once and left in place rather than opened and closed repeatedly like a carabiner; rope access technicians, riggers and rescue teams use this style of connector for semi-permanent anchor, sling and rigging connections. Petzl's current steel screw-link range for that role is the GO, sold as a 7 mm oval link (reference P15, 60 g, steel, 25 kN major axis, gate opening 16 mm, CE EN 362 type Q) and an 8 mm wide-opening oval link (references P015AA00/P015AA01, 95 g, galvanized steel, 32 kN major axis, gate opening 17 mm, CE EN 12275/EN 362), both confirmed live on Petzl Canada's site. The PRESTO's pear-shaped body sets it apart from that oval GO family, but Siren Safety could not confirm reference P10 on any current Petzl page, so its own weight and strength are not stated here as fact.

Common questions
Is the PRESTO screw link currently sold by Petzl?
Siren Safety could not find reference P10 on any live Petzl Canada or Petzl USA product page; buyers should confirm current availability and sourcing before ordering the Petzl PRESTO.
What is a screw link like the PRESTO used for?
A steel screw link such as the Petzl PRESTO connects rope, webbing or hardware at a point meant to be threaded closed once and left in place, the same semi-permanent role Petzl's current GO quick links fill.
How does the PRESTO compare to the Petzl GO quick link?
The Petzl PRESTO has a pear-shaped steel body, while the current Petzl GO is oval-shaped in a 7 mm (60 g) and an 8 mm (95 g) version; PRESTO's own weight and strength are not confirmed on a live Petzl page, so they are left out of this listing.
