At BD, our passion for innovation is only matched by our desire to use our equipment and experience the success it was designed for. From the world’s first wire-gate carabiner to our cornerstone Camalots, we have always designed gear that enables climbers to push the limits of our sport.
Reviewers praise the durable build, wide gate opening, smooth keylock gates, value comparable to higher-end draws, and the 16 cm length for extra reach. They use them for sport climbing, top-rope anchors and keeping carabiners off the rock. Weight is mixed, with some calling them light and a few saying they are heavier than other sport draws, and one found the gates stiff until broken in.

"Can’t ask for a better set up."
"These were my first personal set of QuickDraws and they performed great! They don’t wear and tear as easily and I found it easy to clip/un-clip as needed and the rubber stays intact very nicely."
"Retrofitted these to use as extra straps to tug while rucking. Works perfectly."
"Great handling quickdraws with a wide gate opening and smooth keylock solid gates. not the lightest but hardwearing and reliable at a competitive price."
"Looks and fills good. Nice size as well."
"I just wanted more options than my quad setup as a top rope anchor. The HotForge Quickdraw was on sale and it was just hard to beat the value of Black Diamond equipment."
"Good draws for the price!"
"Weird to be black on gear instead of gray on gear but whatevs"
"The Hotforge quickdraw is a well designed quickdraw with a beefy 18mm nylon dogbone sling that’s easy to grab. Both carabiners are rated and snag free keylock carabiners. I’d recommend this quickdraw if you are not worried about weight."
"Perfect for indoor/outdoor climbing. Perfect weight and durability are very well balanced, and the springs when climbing are amazing. My goal is to option for general purposes quickdraws"
