Customer Service
Designed for weight-conscious climbers tackling demanding multi-pitch rock and alpine routes, the Black Diamond VaporLock Magnetron is the ultimate lightweight HMS pear-shaped carabiner. Its unique magnetic locking mechanism provides instant, double-action gate security, making it ideal for building anchors or as a master point in multi-pitch anchor systems. The carabiner’s hot-forged aluminum construction and keylock nose are engineered to minimize snagging, enhancing speed and efficiency on long, free climbs. For climbers seeking a high-performance auto-locking carabiner , this model delivers proven reliability for technical ascents.
Locking Mechanism: Magnetron magnetic auto-lock with two independent arms for a secure, double-action closure.
Shape & Design: HMS (pear) shape with a keylock (snag-free) nose.
Construction: Hot-forged aluminum alloy with a “T”-profile or baseball-bat cross-section for weight reduction.
Gate Operation: Ambidextrous, one-handed operation by pinching the small yellow levers on the gate sides.
Compatibility: Suitable for dynamic belaying, Munter hitches, and use with belay devices on ropes up to 9.4 mm.
Lightest in Class: At 56 grams, it is one of the lightest full-size auto-locking HMS carabiners available, a critical advantage for alpine climbers and trad climbers where every gram counts on a big rack.
Innovative Self-Cleaning Gate: The Magnetron’s external, expulsive locking action helps eject mud, dirt, and ice each time the gate is opened, offering more reliable operation in dirty or wet conditions compared to traditional screwgate sleeves.
Discontinued & Collector Status: Officially discontinued by Black Diamond, which has created high demand among enthusiasts. This can make it a sought-after item for dedicated climbers and gear collectors.
