Surprisingly solid performance and ease of use

Rating:*****

I picked up a couple of each size of these draws (long and short) because the price was right, and I wanted a quick draw I could use for both trad and sport. The bent gate end of the draw is unlike other quickdraws where the webbing is snug - on these it is loose which I've found is great for trad routes where I don't want a long runner but I do want the draw to allow the rope to travel a bit without twisting. For wandering sport routes where the standard quickdraw can create a "z" I usually reach for the Black Diamond Quicksilver. Exceeded my expectations.

"Good form"

Rating:****
These quick draws work exceptionally well especially for the price. I bought a full rack of these in may of 07 I have used them a lot since then and have been really please with the condition that they keep. I haven't noticed any rubbing on the webbing itself and the carabiners have held up and the action on the gate with a little graphite every now and then has kept them working in top shape . Good form black diamond Good form.

"You can't do better at this price"

Rating:****
I have a full rack of Quicksilvers and really like them. They are the heaviest Black Diamond makes, but are light enough for me. They are also strong and the rubber Straightjacket does a great job keeping the bottom biner from spinning. However, next time I'll probably buy the Hotwire draws because I'd prefer a keyless nose on the bottom.

"These quickdraws rock!!"

Rating:*****
My set of quickdraws ranges in age from 4 years old to 4 months but they all have one this in common, everyone of them is a black diamond quicksilver. There extremely lightweight and even easier to use. I trust all of mine with my life, even the acient ones. You won't be dissapointed if you purchase these.

"LOVE this piece"

Rating:*****
Great quickdraw... good price! Lightweight with good clipping action. It's durable... plus it looks good hanging off your harness! The only downside is that it doesn't come in multiple colors and it's a popular model.... so, if you pool gear with friends like I do, buy colored tape or something to mark "yours, mine, and ours."

simple and good

Rating:*****

These are rad, simple good and don't break the pocket book. I like how they have the straight and bent shaft, so you can use either, sometimes the bent is nicer to use than the straight to get clipped in. It is just simple, basic and does the job good.

good and durable

Rating:*****

I like them, I only have 2 of these draws. But they work amazingly! The ease of use, lightweight, and construction of these draws is amazing. They are just as light as a wire gate but work just like your old solid gates do.

best qd for the money

Rating:*****

best qd for the money and it is a black diamond...can't go wrong with this choice. i have 12 for sport but also use them trad even though they are a little heavier than more expensive models

Great Value

Rating:****

I grabbed a bunch of these for clip-ups and pretty much love them. You can't really beat the price. BD makes sick gear that does the job well and lasts.
