Black Diamond Slinger Leash

The Black Diamond Slinger Leash is an elastic tethering solution that keeps your piolet secure without a wrist leash. It features an upgraded locking carabiner, adding extra safety when attached to your axe's head or spike. The leash comes with longer elastic webbing and new polyester webbing that absorbs less moisture compared to the old nylon version. It's a single, lightweight piolet - specific version of the well - known Black Diamond Spinner Leash. Key features include a locking carabiner (non - weight bearing) for attachment to the spike or head, a single, lightweight piolet - specific design, and a rating of 2 kN (450 lbf). Specifications: Strength - Closed Gate is 2kN and the average weight is 54g.

Using the Black Diamond Slinger Leash is easy. First, attach the locking carabiner to the spike or head of your piolet. Make sure it's locked properly for safety. You can then use your piolet without worrying about it getting lost. When using, remember that the carabiner is non - weight bearing, so don't rely on it for heavy loads. For maintenance, keep it dry as much as possible because the new polyester webbing absorbs less moisture but still can get wet. If it gets dirty, gently wash it with mild soap and let it air dry. Also, regularly check the carabiner and webbing for any signs of wear and tear. If you notice any damage, it's best to replace the leash to ensure your safety.
