The LiveWire Carabiner by Black Diamond is a biner designed with a large gate opening and the super efficient wire gate. If you are building quickdraws for the season, we suggest you using the LiveWire as your bottom biner. With a wire gate you get almost no reverb when the carabiner hits the rock or you fall on the draw keeping your rope secure in the biner for the length of the climb.
The textured, curved spine and keylock nose provide even better clipping performance than other biners.

Perfect for desperate clips because of its size and featured spine, the LiveWire is easy to finger-or pinch-clip. Its wiregate offers effortless clippability. When you're pimping on some greasy, slopey crimp, this is the biner that should be hanging above you.

Awesome rope end quickdraw biner | |
| Rating: |  |
I love this biner, I have last years version on the rope end of my quickdraws. I paired them up with Petzl Spirits and Petzl's dogbones. These things are super easy to clip, smooth action. They are big enough to stabilize the biner with you middle finger, then clip the rope through with your thumb and pointer and never have to worry about you middle finger getting in the way of the gate or rope. There is also a little ridge on the spin which helps when pinching the rope into the biner and it looks like they added some grip on the spine to help even more (that's a change from last year). This year they changed some of the strengths, the open gate used to be 9 kn and is now 8 and the minor axis in now 8kn and used to be 7, take that for what it is, i think i would rather have the higher open gate strength then more minor axis strength. | |

"Pretty!" | |

| I actually have the new LiveWire Quickdraw with the LiveWire carabiner making up the rope end. This is one great biner. The new shape and the little grippers on the spine makes this super easy to clip. They are a little pricier than most, but worth it when it comes to safety and confidence on a climb. Ok, I really bought these because they come in Michigan State green, but they are still great and I'm buying more! | |

Green Goodness!! | |

I really love this biner for the bottom end of quickdraws...this combined with a dynotron on the bolt end equals the best quickdraw I have ever used. The perfect mix of lightweight and easy clipping goodness and from an aesthetic standpoint...the green looks bad ass! The rope practically jumps in the draw...WOO HOO buy a gaggle!!! | |

My brother nick-named these the green dragons because of the color and spin that looks like scales. They are awesome. I use them for the rope end of my draws and they are perfect. Nice and big for clipping. | |
