Safety first.

Finally replaced my six year old dog bones. The new black diamond runners are sweet. i really like the rubber band gasket thing that holds the biner in place. the only thing i didn't like is that they were mostly all different colors, but thats me and i like my stuff to match. cheap fix for good piece of mind.

I use these to make my own anchor draws. Throw a Rocklock in the narrow loop (after cutting the rubber out), a Quicksilver in the big one, repeat, and voila! You've got two anchor draws to throw in at the chains for a quick, safe, and easy anchor.

I bought enough of these in different lengths to replace all my old dogbones which were really, really old. These are simple and light; rubber gripper works well. I concur with a fellow reviewer: it would be nice if the different lenghts were unique colors, and uniform (all 12cm were grey, all 15cm were blue...etc), but I just put some colored straight gates on the top of my two longer dogbones. Gosh I'm smart...

It appears that Black Diamond is beginning to use the 10mm Dynex more and more. They aren't using the nylon dogbones in their quickdraw combinations anymore. I have some of the nylon ones as well as some of the Dynex. I feel that the wider slightly stiffer nylon ones are more stable when clipping the rope into the bottom biner, because the Dynex slings tend to twist more easily. They are both rated at 22kn so you can't go wrong with either one. Rubber inserts on the rope end are a must to have on all 'draws. They hold the biner firmly in proper orientation and are available on both the Dynex and nylon. Overall-Great product from a great company.

Bought two 20cm to have a few slightly longer draws. I end up using these two on almost every route (all sport, but sometimes the extra length helps smooth out the rope line). I'll probably buy more when I need more gear.

I bought these to make some custom draws, the price was okay and the weight is great. The little rubber insert fit my Neutrinos pretty well, would fit a Hotwire too I bet.

I just picked up a few of these and love them. Super light weight and a name you can trust. I found on the larger size you can take a small rubber band and slide on tight before you but your carabiner on and it will hold it in place pretty well. The loop on the opposite side of the gasket is a larger loop so it adds some security to the carabiner from flipping over.

These are, or course being from BD, top quality gear. Light, strong and everything you want from a sling...

That being said they ARE the skinny 10mm ones...The BC Chat guy said they were the thick ones cause the picture showed both...I will say this; BC offered to return the items and when i told them i was going on a trip and needed them they said "go on the trip and then send em back for a refund..." so that was awesome...I ended up keeping them even though BC offered to cover shipping both ways and a return a USED item...

Great Customer Service on the back end even if the order accuracy left a bit to be desired.

I recently upgraded my runners with these. They are lighter and more compact than my old nylon runners. One problem that they share, however, is freeze-up whey they get wet and cold. I'm wondering if there is a dry treatment for runners.

I started climbing with Yates screamers more and decided I like the long draw length. I got several BD dynex 20cm dogbones and paired them with the Camp Nano 23 biners. It is a supper light and compact set of draws on my rack. The rubber band on the rope end holds the biner secure.

Great way to make your own draws. I wanted BD biners but most of the draws they have are not key locks which I wanted, this lets you make your own with pretty much any biners you want.

BD always makes high quality stuff. I love hte rubber gasket that holds the 'biner in place.

Great to replace those old suspect dog bones. With hair elastics as a cheap way to hold one of the bineers in place these let you also make your own draws with the carabineers of your choice. I like Black Diamond carabineers with the keylock gates.
