Best Rope-End Draw Biner Made

After a fairly extensive search, I found that these are hands-down the best (for me) rope end draw biner currently made. I use these on a Spirit sling with a DMM Shadow on the bolt end, which makes for possibly the nicest draw you can possibly buy (if you can part with the $27 per draw - ouch). These are easy to grab and clip quickly, with a super smooth gate action. Hooded notch-less nose (very cool for a wire gate) makes for snag-free operation, and they're wicked light. Production quality on these is top notch, which is no surprise since they are actually made by DMM for Wild Country. I won't use anything else now!

When my climbing partner put Heliums on the rope-end of all his sport draws, no one wanted to use any one else's draws. So much nicer to clip/unclip! One by one I've replace all of my rope-end biners with Heliums too. In fact I use this same combination: Top: DMM Shadow Dog Bone: Petzl Spirit Bottom: Wild Country Helium
