      Comments about Black Diamond Positron Carabiner:

      This keylock or straight nose biner makes clipping into or cleaning from the bolt a cinch. I have 8 of BD's Hotwire draws with this biner on the bolt side. At 49 grams, it's not as light as Mammut's Element Key Lock biner (43g) so it only gets 4 stars but it's still a great biner.

        Comments about Black Diamond Positron Carabiner:

        Good biner. It is really nice to rack up gear on, no pins or angles to snag your nylon. When seconding an ice rout it's gate lends itself useful while racking up ice screws. This is a good one!

        Comments about Black Diamond Positron Carabiner:

        I bought a couple of these to use for a daisy chain. I have been very impressed with how durable they are. The only thing I have found is when you are clipping in to make a cordelette they can be a little bit of a pain to unclip from the anchor when another biner is clipped in the anchor as well. I have also used them for other purposes and they work great.

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
