Black Diamond Quicksilver Quickdraw - 2007 BCS

This is a standard draw in its category and I've sport climbed and canyoneered with this device happily for two summers in Utah. Since I don't tackle long lead routes or trad where I'd need really light draws, I have absolutely no complaints. I believe in relying on tried and tested climbing gear, and this is one of those products by BD.

This is just a solid blue-collar draw. Obviously not too fancy, and not the best ever made by any means, but they also aren't thirty bucks. Not that my life isn't possibly worth another fifteen dollars, but I feel just as safe with these. I haven't had any real problems with them, and you can get them in a six pack.

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

The headline says it all. I use these for sport routes and clipping into passive pro on lead. I've also found them to be pretty lightweight, considering similarly priced alternatives. You can't go wrong with these.

Cheap and great quality. Need I say more!!

Super light and low-bulk.

Cheap.

Not keylock biners - if that's important to you (it should be).

I think these are a happy medium of having inexpensive draws for both sport and trad climbing. I am a little unhappy with how easily they twist. It seems no matter how I rig it that will always happen. So I'm buying draws with a thicker dogbone for sport climbing, but these were a great start for me. All said, I'd buy more

These quickdraws are a great value. They didn't kill my budget and perform perfectly.

For the price, these are the cheapest, and get the job done. However if you are used to longer approaches and the possibility of big whippers where the mass of the gate could open it, or want a lighter qd, then go for some of the wire ones, however these are great for a starters rack for sure

They are strong, durable, and priced well. For your first quickdraws they are great, if you want the lightest and newest get something else. These are the base model. I have had them for two years and they have held up great, start with these and slowly add the expensive gear to replace them.

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.

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.

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.

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.
