Black Diamond VaporLock Screwgate Carabiner

Item #BLD0994 | 0 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Excellent all-around lightweight locker

By Ranked #412 - Carabiners, Quickdraws, and Belay Devices October 17, 2008

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).
