Light and strong!

Bling Bling Vapor Locks your are so stylish and sleek.
That's why with you I like to roll deep.
But it's not just for glitz and the glamour that you serve
Lets talk about the countless lives you've helped me preserve
I clip you with glee to my belay device
And with you catch big whippers so soft and so nice
Lets face it All lockers do about the same thing
But you do it with the most golden glittering bling
But it's not just your shine it's also your form
Your well thought out far from the norm
From anchors to belays to water bottle toting
You are so beautiful you should be gloating.

Ridiculously light and very functional. I love this biner and pretty much always a have few on me whether I am climbing ice, rock or snow. Keylock gate, perfect size, super -light, love it!

You know when you get a cool new toy and it just feels right in your hand? Well this little bugger is clean and snappy and light and solid. I love it. I have a couple in my crevasse rescue kit and also use them at anchors on rock and ice routes. Not much not to love about the VaporLock!

for a belay 'biner i would want something a little bigger and with a round profile... that said these are super light and seem to clip/unclip smoothly in slings, bolts, or anchor chains.... now if we can just bring the price down a few bucks.

These are awesome and flashy, super light weight, but... for about half the price you can pick up a positron. The positron is less than .2oz heavier (4.971g), such a small amount that you'll make up the weight if you blow your nose hard enough before hitting the crags.

This thing rules. I had 2 anchor draws with these on them, but I switched them over to daisy chains. I wouldn't recommend them for long-term toproping, as they seem to be wearing through faster than my Rocklocks. It makes sense, there's less metal there, but it seems like a waste of a good biner to wear through it like that. My favorite aspect is that they're skinny enough to clip into the middle of a chain at an anchor, opening up a wealth of options for multi-pitching and cleaning. And they're really light. And the keylock nose on the gate means it doesn't get caught on gear loops, bolt hangers, etc. And they look cool. That pretty much covers it.

The design is amazing. Rather than a smooth curve at the bottom, it almost squares out so that large objects on your biner don't get stuck. I use one to hold a Petzl mini-traxion and it doesn't get stuck. Not to mention it being super light. Awesome alpine locker. Perfection.

There are lighter lockers out there (Wild Country Neon, Mad Rock SuperTech, etc.) But this is the lightest pear shape locker. I use this strictly for the master point and belay loop because it's munter hitch compatible. You can use these for building anchors or clipping into the anchor ... but like I said there's lighter and way cheaper lockers out there.

great little locking biners. super light weight, smooth action, and not big and bulky like most belay/rappel lockers. i use these guys with a set of dynex runners as indirects when cleaning and climbing multi-pitch routes. the keylock really comes in handy when you trying to unclip from the chains.

This is a fantastic biner for use with a belay device. It doesn't make too much friction when trying to quickly lower your partner, but it makes you feel secure while belaying all the time. It is also amazingly light which is fantastic when every ounce counts.

This little guy loves to hang out at the end of my Metalious PAS. so light and sexy. Get it and live a happy life.

This biner is amazingly lightweight and has every other feature you could want. The price is even doable for a BD hot forged, keylock locking biner. Buy many and often. Nuff said.

Really good buy

This would be the perfect racking biner if it was available in a non-locking version. As it is it's probably the best multi-purpose locking biner around - HMS safe and crazy light. Compact but not stupidly small with a large opening. I just wish they made it with a non-locking gate.

These have become the standard non-belay locker on my rack. They are excellent for anchor building or adding security to the rope end of a draw. Replacing heavier and larger lockers with these will shave significant weight off a trad rack. The gate action is smooth, and the snag-free keylock nose clips into tangles of webbing, hangers, etc. easily. One note about the color: although the description calls it "lime," it's really a yellow tint with a hint a green. Kinda like the filling on an authentic key lime pie (the type without the radioactive green artificial coloring).

The ballin' rhyme slinger below me explains it all to well. get steezy with this beener

This is by far my favorite piece on my rack. Super sleek and functional carabiner. I just wish I could afford a few more.

this is a must have. super light and really low profile. best biner i've ever use for cleaning. fits great in the chains and so light you won't know it's on your harness. load your atc on this thing and it works perfectly. simply must have.

Black Diamond makes great climbing products, and they continue to deliver with the VaporLock. I love these light-weight lockers -- great for trad and alpine climbing. As other reviewers here have suggested, you won't want to use these as a belay-locker or for top-rope anchors -- otherwise, though, you can't go wrong.

21kn is not 7421 lbs think a typo was made

I bought three of these at beginning of summer, and after several trips to the mountains I had one lock up on me. I couldn't unscrew the gate to get it open. I had to wrestle with the thing for like 5 minutes. It only had issues with one biner, but i don't think I'd buy any more. I was really happy with it until that happened.

nice size, smooth screwgate and you can hardly tell it's clipped to you ... until you fall & you realize how strong it is. good stuff.

It is really Light and works great. Defintly worth getting.

The vaporlock is light and snappy. It is incredible how much lighter it is than all of my other locking carabiners. I am a fan.

as always bdel comes through. just like advertised this locker is munter compatible!! just one more reason to drop excess gear and go ultra light with a few of these.

Bought this to use as a keychain.

Very lightweight. Have also used it to hold up equipment (Via rope and tree) in the backcountry.

A light biner that works like it is supposed to. Buy a few

Love this biner. The perfect addition for your ATC-Guide or even your GriGri.

Perfect Biner. Screwgate, keylock gate. Ultralight weighing just 1.8 oz. Straight up one of the best biners on the market. Botton Line : I trust my life unto you Mr Carabiner

This is my new favorite basic locker. It's incredibly light, and the keylock gate is fantastic for those crowded belay stations when you're climbing with parties of 2 or more and trying to squeeze one more locker into some bolt hangers. I usually keep 3 or 4 of these bad boys on my harness at all times.

very light weight for the specs. good opening range and keylock gate. smooth locking and unlocking. my only lament is that i can't justify the $ to replace all my lockers with it.
