    REI Members get back an estimated 10% on this item as part of their annual member refund.

    The REI Member Dividend

    The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

    Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

    Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

    Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

      Comments about Black Diamond Positron Screwgate Carabiner - Anodized:

      These are the Mercedes-Benz of locking 'biners. Only Petzl can compete, but theirs are all bigger, bulkier, heavier (and certainly appropriate for plenty of applications). These represent the great majority of my locking 'biner collection, due to their smooth action, snagless, keylock nose, and perfect size. BD's Quicksilver screwgate is about the same, but without that great snagless nose. If you can afford these Positrons, get them!

          good locker but minor snag

          • Simple

          Cons

          • Gate cuts keylock nose

          Best Uses

          • Daisy chains and anchors

          Comments about Black Diamond Positron Screwgate Carabiner - Anodized:

          These are very nice lockers, relatively low weight and a nice size. I bought it to use on the end of my daisy chain and it works very well for that with one exception. When the gate snaps shut it cuts the keylock nose and creates a bur that snags the dyneema daisy chain. You might want to keep a small file handy to take care of this if it happens with yours. Both that I own have this issue.
          I am still considering purchasing more for anchor building despite this minor flaw.

                I've used these carabiners' for many years as a white water rafting guide. They are excellent at clipping my gear into the boat, and for attaching my flip line to the boat in a quick and efficient manner.

                  Comments about Black Diamond Positron Screwgate Carabiner - Anodized:

                  Do your research and compare! This is the best carabiner on the market for the price, quality and strength. Only con that I have noticed is when the carabiner is upside down and the gate is open, the screw gate can sometimes slide down and block the gate from closing. Only happened to me once, but just because I wasn't paying attention and being sloppy. Even with that I would hands down trust the device with my life.

                        I have two of these and I love them! Lightweight, strong, quick and easy to use. Gate opens wide and screws securely (assuming you lock down). I have never had one open on me when properly secured. Overall great biner!
