NO TOOTH!!!

not sure what to say about a carabiner, it clips like a champ. It doesn't have a tooth on the gate, so the chances of dying dropped by some power of 10 binary doesn't like w/o using doubles. C++ nonsense btw, for those unaware, a tooth is a notch where the gate closes, and if theres a tooth, theres a pin, and if theres a pin, theres a chance your gate might not close. plug teeth like to grab things, namely ropes when you want to clip. using it to make a superlong draw to go over flakes...

Does exactly what a biner is supposed to do, but better.

I use them for both rock and ice climbing. They are fantastic because the notchless opening. Unless notch style, my skinny rope doesn't get stuck between the notch. This also make following a climb simpler especially on the harder routes. Highly recommended! Combine this, neutrino and dyneema slings, the ultimate trad draw.

Not the lightest, but I'm not dead yet

I decided to pay a little extra for this caribiner. It is okay, but with all the super-light options available, this really wasn't the best choice for me. I should have gotten something lighter and with a snapier gate. They work well though, and black diamond always does quality work.

works great!

I have one of these on my chalk bag. It keeps my bag firmly on my harness when clipped to the back loup and the gear loop. It works, and I always know I can bail on it if I need to!
Jeremy at Moosejaw on 12/07/2010

great for keys

works great for what I'm using it for, keys! It doesn't have a hook on the inside, so when I'm taking it off my bag, it doesn't catch. The finish doesn't scratch off either.
REBECCA at Moosejaw on 01/10/2008

SWEETNESS

These biners clip easier than most girls I know! Definitely do not hesitate to buy these or the draws like them, I have both and don't regret the purchase at all.
Andy at Moosejaw on 04/28/2010

Works well

I love using this biner daily. I also have another one which I only use on the crag. Clips when you need it to, easily and sturdily. Great Job!
Blake at Moosejaw on 03/01/2009

great biner

these are great. strong and fit easy in the hand. colors make it easy to see the whole set on my pack when i'm on the wall or freestylin.
BENJAMIN at Moosejaw on 12/19/2007

Up up n away!

Perfect for clipping the rope in, and no cut out on the nose of the hook to catch your rope or in trad gear.
