When Black Diamond designed the Positron Quickdraw, they aimed for value and utility. We'd say they hit the mark. Thanks to dual Positron carabiners, climbers can enjoy full keylock convenience and not have to worry about snagging a rope while clipping. A Straitjacket insert maintains bottom carabiner orientation for fumble-free movement.
The Black Diamond Positron quickdraw set offers lots of performance features at an excellent value.
Imported.
One hundred percent keylock function, from top to bottom, the Positron Quickdraw has a straight gate top biner, a bentgate bottom biner and is equipped with an ultralight 10 mm Dynex™ dogbone with the Straitjacket System. The Positron’s notchless gates make for smooth clipping on the way up and effortless cleaning on the way down.

I've had these for 3 years, and they've withstood a lot of random conditions. They still look great, and obviously have worked out well with falls. The early production of this carabiner had some issues with small burrs where the gate closed on the keylock. They seemed to have solved this issue, and through all the wear and tear the dogbone has stood up nicely as well.
I have two of these bad boys and they are always my first QD on the wall. I dont know why, but I just like the feel and the strong "clip" it makes when you put it on. Very strong and easy to use, I think these are the best QDs out there personally.
These draws are great!
They're pretty much an upgraded version of the BD quicksilver draws, in that they changed the gate so that it won't snag anymore. Lightweight, versatile, awesome.
If you aren't a fan of wiregates, you can't go wrong with these.
