Black Diamond Quicksilver Carabiner - 2007 BCS

I use the straight gate style for non rope end of my trad quickdraws. Though they are a little heavy, they feel super solid and the action is smooth.

Didn't buy it for climbing. Works great for attaching gear to backpacks, tying off an anchor line in BWCA, or hanging a bear bag. I wanted a cheap biner and this fits the bill.

For the price these cant be beat. They are great in pairs or just buy the straight gate. I have used mine for years. I have attached a bent gate to most of the slings on my cams. If you are not buying wiregates then these are the biners to buy.

This is just an OK biner. I trust them to hold a fall, but not the best when you go to un-clip. They seem to hang up on the rope or runner if your not careful. Black Diamond has other much better biners on the market.

I own a whole freakin' lot of these because they are so cheap and work great! I have given up buying quickdraws since I started Trad climbing and I now buy slings and these biners to make my own quickdraws. It is slightly more expensive to make your own draw, but I think it is much more efficient if you are climbing those climbs that are not very straight so you can make a 4ft draw or a 2ft draw. I use these for pretty much everything! I like the size and I think the weight is fine. I will continue to use and buy these biners, and I don't if everyone is giving this biner a bad review, I think they're great!

Nothing flashy...but a great price for a quality piece of gear.

BD quality, good numbers, work-horse capability. Paired straight/bent gates for quickdraws are a solid foundation (nice clips) for any sport/trad rack. Not exceptional, yet slightly amazing.

Okay, but better biners on the market from BD and other manufacturers. Ended up using mine to clip my crampons onto outside of pack.

Great price for good quality, not perfect but when price matters...

I bought a few of these for my backpack and to use in the campgrounds. They work fine for that purpose and I don't use them for climbing but I think they would work fine if you had to use them for safety reasons.

Decent Biners. I wouldn't do anything but sport with these, mostly I use them to clip gear to my pack, I believe on it holding my keys. They just dont have a smooth Rope to gear-ness about them. But they get the job done.

Why waste the time even selling this Biner? Stop making them. Stop selling them. They catch on the rope at the clipping point. The new keylock system is far advanced and will never grab the rope. Petzl spirit biner have had the keylock system for years!? It took BD way to long to catch up with the times. WARNING! These are a waste of money. All of mine are never coming out of the bag.
