Black Diamond Magnetron VaporLock Carabiner

DESCRIPTION

Our lightest pear-shaped locking biner, outfitted with our innovative Magnetron Technology, the Black Diamond Magnetron VaporLock is the ultimate lightweight locker for long free climbs and shaving grams off of your rack. Magnetron Technology uses a steel insert in the nose of the carabiner and two magnetic arms in the gate for a super-secure, super-fast and easy-to-use locking mechanism.

• Innovative gate design uses two magnetic arms in the gate and a steel insert in the nose for super-secure, interference-free closure
• Pear shape increases friction up to 30% when lowering or rappelling with an ATC
• Munter hitch compatible on ropes up to 9.4 mm
• Keylock nose doesn't snag

HOT FORGING VS. COLD FORGING

We use two different forging methods to build carabiners—hot and cold forging. Each has its benefits and using both allows us to achieve the best possible shape, size and strength for each carabiner’s intended use. HOT FORGING, a process where both the rod stock and forge dies are heated, allows us to “move” the metal, creating more intricate shapes, such as our GridLock and Oz biners.
