BD HotForge Screwgate Carabiner
BD HotForge Screwgate Carabiner
BD Says: A multi-functional, lightweight and compact keylock locker, the Black Diamond HotForge Screwgate carabiner features a hot-forge construction—allowing us to remove weight where it’s not needed and add material where durability is key—and a low-profile, non-snagging nose that’s easy to clip and clean. Ideal for use at belays, top roping or whenever you find yourself in need of a trusty locker, the HotForge accommodates a clove hitch and is built for everyday climbing missions that demand reliability and durability.
Weight: about 50 grams or 3.2 ounces.
Color: Black or Grey
TOM SAYS: a nice, simple, well-finished, small screwgate carabiner at a reasonable price. I use one as a link between my climbing-harness belay loop and my rappel device carabiner to get the Rappel Device oriented flat. And I have a few others on my harness for other things, thus saving a bit of weight vs. carrying all Round-stock carabiners which are best for rigging and Ti-blocking, and as a rappel device carabiner.
