use them for alpine climbing and they are pretty dam light for long distance lugging. Wire gates means they dont freeze as other gates do. Dynema strops are solid, and the bea…

Not a big fan of BD products, I usually go for Petzl but in this case this quickdraws simply amazed me, clipping them to the bolt is easy and clipping the rope is easier, very…

Little on a smallish side as a belay biner, but a good locker otherwise. Light.…

Strong, small, and compact is the best way to describe it. I use it on a quickdraw and it works great. Love the key lock, prevents snags and other problems when clipping. Thum…

I got this six pack as my first pack of quick draws, and I'm extremely happy with them. I find that the wire gates are way easier to clip than the bent gates, and I haven't h…

You can't beat these quickdraws for the money. They clip great and come in two different lengths, so what's not to love. I use the shorter draws when I'm feeling stable on a r…

I bought a set of five of these for basic sport climbing and have been thoroughly impressed. For the price, you definitely cannot beat them. The gates are a little hard to ope…

Works just as expected, has a very good gate clearance which makes for easy clipping. The size is very slightly bigger than most HMS biners (i think) but it's pretty good. Goo…

The twist lock gate is way too easy to open and i could imagine it coming open from rope or gear sliding across it and pressing just the right way. I suggest trying it out fi…

These carabiners are a big upgrade from BD Neutrino carabiners in terns of light weight (from 37g to 28 gram) and sang-free design. However, they are also more expensive. I lo…

It does a good job of locking, nice and big...but the screw mechanism on it isn't smooth at all. A mammut screwlocking 'biner I've had on my keys for the last 4-5 years (ie it…

It's your standard carabiner, great for securing lines and clipping gear onto a bag quickly. It is pretty lightweight, but is also plenty strong enough for anything you could…

I use these for slacklining on short to moderately long lines. Great for 1" webbing because it's wide enough to keep your line flat from anchor to anchor (I pair them with rap…

Large, light (for an oval), and cheap = great racking biner for nuts. I like that it's not a snagless nose as that's saved a nut or two from being lost to a long fall.…
