About DMM Phantom 18cm Quickdraw A lightweight and very strong QD, perfect for alpinism, big walling or trad onsights. Using DMM's I-beam Phantom 'biners, the complete quickdraw weighs in at less than 59g.
DMM have used their unique experience in working with aluminium alloys to hot forge the deep I-beam shape of the Phantom wiregate, producing high strength (9kN gate open strength) without any weight penalty. The hook on the nose has been made as small as possible to minimise the possibility of gear snagging on the recess and loading the biner away from the back.
The 'even tension' gate gives a consistent feel and the subtle curves mean that the gate pulls securely into the nose when loaded and the chances of the rope unclippping itself when back-clipped are significantly reduced.
