Full Description

The Black Diamond Anodized Mini Pearabiner is a light and smooth belay or rappel biner with a Screwlock sleeve that locks the gate, not the nose so there’s no dreaded seized sleeve when loaded with your body weight. Sculpted for use with an ATC or similar device, Black Diamond’s Anodized Mini Pearabiner has a 12mm rope-bearing diameter and small overall size for maximum functionality. Its minimum weight and volume works well for both rappelling and belaying.

This is a nice carabiner, my only problem is that it is slightly bigger and bulkier than the Black Diamond Quicksilver Screwgate Carabiner, and actually holds 1kN less along each axis. Basically the quicksilver screwgate is smaller and holds more. Unless you plan on attaching more than three ropes to this ‘biner than you may as well get the cheaper, smaller, and stronger version made by the same company.

I’m no rock-climber or anything. I just bought this to hold gear down. Currently I use it to simply hold my helmet to my vest when it’s not on my head or attach other gear to my ruck. It’s not expensive, and it does look like it can take a beating. For every-day camping this is a must have.

Not much small than any other ones I have. But, I’m still alive, so it does it’s job.
