The durable and affordable Black Diamond® QuickWire quickdraw comes with a slim 10mm Dynex runner for great weight savings.

  • Straight gate Quicksilver II and wire gate HotWire carabiners are linked by a lithe dogbone runner creating a strong and light quickdraw
  • Pound-for-pound, Dynex is stronger than steel and has greater abrasion resistance and durability than standard nylon runners
  • Dynex is also more flexible and lighter weight than nylon runners and offers superb impact-, freeze- and water-resistance that climbers can appreciate
  • Rubber Straightjacket™ insert in runner loop keeps bent gate carabiner in proper orientation for easy, efficient clipping
  • Carabiners are made of anodized 7075-T6 aluminum for lightweight strength; smooth gate systems provide a reliable performance
  • Carabiner geometry fits snugly in your hand and is angled at the nose to clip easily into protection placements
  • Upper, straight gate clips into protection, while the lower, wire gate carabiner makes rope clipping smooth and fast

Please note: Black Diamond products can only be shipped to the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

Made in USA.

    Comments about Black Diamond QuickWire Quickdraw Set - 18cm:

    The title of my review speaks to the fact that longer dogbones are more versitile. However, they are not as ridgid as shorter ones. Over all these are pretty good draws.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Longer Draw though Bent Nose

    Comments about Black Diamond QuickWire Quickdraw Set - 18cm:

    The longer dogbone is useful to reduce rope drag and makes clipping in with the rope easier. For the price, I expected a straight nose design to go with the straight gate carabiner. Straight noses allow easier clipping and cleaning from the bolt without risk of the nose getting snagged.

    Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Comments about Black Diamond QuickWire Quickdraw Set - 18cm:

      I've got a full rack of these which I use at the local quarry, and I love them.

      On the weight-price scale, they fit somewhere in the middle. They're more expensive than something like Omega-Pacific Dirtbag draws, but lighter. They're heavier than something like a DMM Spectre draw, but cheaper.

      The 'biners are a no-frills, rugged, classic asymmetrical BD shape without any odd bends or angles. They're larger than the toy-sized ultralights, easy to grab and clip into bolts, and the straight wire takes a rope easily.

      I know it's high-tech synthetic, but the dogbone still looks a little thin. After a few screamers at the crag, I'm fairly confident in the material's holding ability.

      Overall, great draws with a comfortable, simple design and a nice compromise between light weight and low cost. You can go cheaper, but you can definitely go much more expensive.

      • Simple

      Cons

        Best Uses

        Comments about Black Diamond QuickWire Quickdraw Set - 18cm:

        Though pricy, these draws are great, especially if you're the kind of climber who likes the straight-gate for bolts and anchoring, and prefers the wire-gate for clipping in while leading. Clipping is smooth, quick, and efficient relative to heavier types of biners. Admittedly I was hesitant about buying wire-gate quickdraws since they appear less secure than traditional straight-gate options (it's purely psychological) but I'm glad I did. One suggestion [...]A package deal of these would be nice, especially if the price were comparable to other quickdraw bundles. Sold individually, these are quite pricy.

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
