BLACK DIAMOND HotForge Screwgate Carabiner | Lightweight Aluminum Locking Carabiners | for Rock Climbing, Mountaineering, Camping, Outdoor

If you want good locking caribiners then you can't beat these for cost and performance. We use them for setting top rope routes outdoors.

Excellent product, climbing sailboat mast.

Great carabiners. Very good Kn rating for the weight. They are light. If you don’t know what a kilo newton is you probably don’t need to be using these anyway. They are not NFPA rated though.

Lightweight, strong, versatile, and affordable! I’m not a rock climber but I do a lot of roofing work. I hate cumbersome five point harnesses with their heavy anchor points on your back or chest. Black Diamond harnesses let me kneel or sit while working, give me traction to reduce muscle fatigue, and take the weight off my back as well. If I’m working with multiple people on the roof at the same time, I do an overhand knot on the rope and clip into that instead of using a sliding clip. Sometimes for a quick transition I’ll just weave it through the rope through the carabiner for a movable slider. Out of all my carabiners (I have probably ten hooked to my harness at all times) the black diamond ones are my absolute favorites. They’re low-dexterity friendly (think winter gloves and one handed maneuvers) and well designed all around.

Excellent quality. Glad we bought them!

Always been a Black Diamond fan. These locking carabiners are a good value, seem very durable, are easy to open and very useful for a variety of climbing needs.

Smaller that expected, but still work great and I’m sure I would have realized if I did more research. Good quality and smooth gate lock, have not gotten jammed or stuck. I have used them a few times, and have noticed they do collect small dings and the paint/anodization has rubbed off pretty quickly. No wear to the aluminum itself. Work great, priced well compared to other brands, but I do wish all brands were just a bit cheaper.

Great quality like always, trusted brand, color is anodized.
