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.

The lightweight Black Diamond HotWire® quickdraw set lets you climb, clip and clean with ease.

Straight-gate Nitron 'biner on top and a hot-forged HotWire® 'biner on bottom are linked by a 14mm Dynex dogbone runner, creating a strong and light quickdraw
Hot-forged HotWire 'biner is 20% lighter than previous versions, yet maintains the same easy-to-use size of the original HotWire
Nose angle on the HotWire has been opened slightly to improve the ease of clipping
Hot-forged Nitron 'biner features an ergonomic, hot-forged gate for easy clipping; keylock gate won't snag on protection, slings or bolt hangers
Rubber Straitjacket™ insert in runner loop keeps the bottom carabiner in proper orientation for easier and more efficient clipping
The Black Diamond HotWire Quickdraw set is available in a 12cm length

Please note: Black Diamond products can only be shipped to U.S. addresses.

Comments about Black Diamond HotWire Quickdraw Set:

This is a good all around quickdraw. Im glad BD upgraded the dogbone width from 10mm to 14mm. Visually the quickdraw assures me that it will perform it's job easily. The wider dogbone also prevents the quickdraw from twisting making it easire to clip in the rope and also grab the runner when resting.

I prefer the solid straight gate/wire gate quickdraw combo. the keynose of the nitron biner makes it really easy to clip in and out of bolt hangers. There are also grooves on the nitron gate which makes handling a dream. The hot wire gate is so smooth and easy to clip in the rope. Sometimes it is so smooth that the gate doesn't even make a noise when clipping. The large and roomy size and wide gates on both biners make clipping and holding knots easier. The bright orange finish makes identifying the route quick and just looks really cool.

As far as weight is concerned, I am not comparing these to the extremely lightweight quickdraws like the wildcountry helium and madrock ultralight. It is a lighter carabiner compared to the petzl express draw and other draws with 14mm wide dogbones or nylon dogbones.

Probably the only downside I would have to say about this quickdraw is that Black Diamond does not offer this in an 18mm length version. I have 18 quickdraws and I modified 6 of them and replaced the dogbones with a petzl 17mm runner.

If you are looking for an all around Quickdraw for a very good midrange price and don't want to spend $18+ on each quickdraw then the Black Diamond Hotwire Quickdraw is a very solid choice.

(I bought all my quickdraws on sale for about $13 each)
