Black Diamond Quicksilver Screwgate Carabiner

Item #BLD0612 | 192 in Stock
3 Star Rating

Okay, but better BD options

By Ranked #8 - Carabiners, Quickdraws, and Belay Devices August 13, 2008

These are adequate, but are outclassed by many other biners now available. The are light, but the lightness comes at the price of a tinny feel, particularly in the action of the screwgate. Note that they are also not keylock, which makes them prone to snagging on slings at crowded anchors. For a similar price from the same manufacturer, the BD Vaporlock is a better choice, as it is a keylock design and has a slightly stouter feel.
