Summary: | poor quality accessory carabiner from BD |
Description & Commentary: | A plastic framed carabiner which fails to live up to the Black Diamond name. The body flexes enough such that the nose will not align with the gate, permitting the gate to open beyond the nose and leaving the carabiner in an open position. I find this happens easily on accident - making this carabiner unreliable and defeating the purpose of using an accessory carabiner to secure important items. |
