The HotForge Carabiner is a classic Black Diamond model with a solid gate specialized for sport climbing. Black Diamond modernized it with a lighter, hot forged construction, a larger rope-bearing surface for longer lasting durability, and flats that reduce the chance of accidentally opening the gate at a wrong time. Its nose also got a little tweak to facilitate easier clipping, and the keylock nose eliminates any chance of snagging. It's available in straight and bent gates for bolts or ropes.

HotForge draws
I bought the black straight gate's and bent gate's, combined with the 16cm Logo daws. They are good. Just like my old Petzl Spirit or the Edelrid. The only con, is that the hanger end of the draw has a very big opening. So far not an issue on climbing.

Great carabiner
I really like the bent gate. I find it easier and more comfortable to clip this.

Beautiful carabiners
These are my favorite carabiners to build draws with. So clean looking and the gate action is the best.
