Black Diamond designed the Positron to bring the anti-snag benefits of a keylock biner to the "working class" climber. For it's price, there aren't any other keylock biners that compare. the 2004 model features a solid keylock gate, an anodized body, and lower price. The keylock nose doesn't snag on pro, ropes or slings, which means easier clips and reduces the chance of open-gate failure. The Positron's shape makes it easy to hold and its bowed back, smooth spring action and deep basket add up the make this one of the most versatile clipping, racking and anchor biners out there. It is available in both bent and straight gate versions. |
