Same BD quick draws specd with diff carabiners
|
Just noticed that the 2 sets of quick draws I have from black diamond, both freewire, have 2 different rope end carabiners. Anyone else experience this ? One rated to 24kn and the other rated at 22   |
|
yeah my thoughts too. Maybe they made a change to their draws at some point and I managed to buy a set pre and post? |
|
If i had to guess, its a colour matched assembly mistake. Somebody working nights slipping bi ers intk dogbones grabbed an neutrino mixed in with the hotwires |
|
I dont think they were purchased that way... 3 of the biners have a good amount of wear, the non-matching neutrino is almost new. |
|
Disregard the use. Purchased the 2 draw sets at the same time and that one smaller carabiner just hasn’t seen as much use |
|
That's a neutrino. You don't fool me Mr. Dumb Dumb |

I think the probability that the gear was mismatched at the BD factory is very low, but it could certainly happen at a counterfeit factory with employees that don't understand what they are assembling. These were purchased directly from Black Diamonds website. |
