BLACK DIAMOND®
HOTFORGE™ ALLOY CARABINER
Bent, Straight or Screw-Lock gate options.
The HotForge® Carabiner by Black Diamond™ is a modern take on the classic HotWire® keylock carabiner dating back to the 90's. Purpose built for the bolt-side of quickdraws, the HotForge™ is also an excellent general-duty carabiner.
The straight gate makes clipping bolts nice and easy while the bent gate option allows a slightly larger gate opening. Featuring a hot forged construction to allow reduction of weight where it’s not needed and adding material where durability is key.
The HotForge™ has a deeper basket for better clipping, while the hinge-end basket is flatter to ensure the webbing of quickdraws stays put.
A larger rope bearing surface adds durability for the carabiner, while the flats on the gate reduce the likelihood of the gate opening accidentally. Updated and optimized nose geometry allows for efficient clipping and unclipping from bolts.
