Love It

No more tangled lines when using two tools. Now each tool can be secured, not just 1

Black Diamond Spinner Leash – Smart, Safe, And Built For Big Ice

As a guide, I rely on gear that’s designed with real-world safety in mind. The Black Diamond Spinner Leash is the best tool tether I’ve found for serious ice climbing—especially on long multi-pitch routes at high altitude where losing a tool could be a critical problem. Its breakaway design protects you during a fall by releasing if your tool is fixed in the ice—unlike cords or slings, which can cause injury. The swivel system prevents leash tangling, and the locking carabiners add extra security compared to other brands like Petzl. Lightweight, reliable, and thoughtfully built, it’s the system I trust when it counts the most.

Perfect As Described

They work swimmingly - they're just long enough to not restrict your movement when reaching for a high tool placement, and short enough to not constantly get caught around everything. The freely rotating connection point means that the tools don't get caught up around each other, you can just switch hands without issue. I've been feeling much more secure since using the leashes, it's a comfort to know that I won't lose a tool if something goes wrong

Good Product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good product. Used it for one season with no issues. Lightweight and durable materials from my experience. Would highly recommend to a friend or family

Good Leashes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just used these this past weekend. I thought the locker on the axe spikes would be sweet and that's why I bought these, but in the end I rarely locked my tools in since we were moving between ice a lot. I did fall once and my axe stuck and the leashes arrested my fall before the rope. So that was kind of neat even though they're only rated for 2 kN.

Biner Bent On Second Climb

I will likely try these again but I bought a set at Michigan Ice Fest last season. One of the biners bent so the gate doesn't close on the second climb on the first day using them. First time I have ever been disappointed with a Black Diamond product in 20+ years.

Another Great Bit Of Bd Gear!

Light, small, well made, “just works.” I get the “leashless” idea I just can’t imagine risking dropping a tool.

They Spin

Nice light weight leashes. Locking 'biners help these stand out from the competition. The elastic is low resistance--almost unnoticeable. The black color contrasts well with most ropes, making it easy to avoid messy tangles when following.

Solid Option

If you need a leash this is a good option. Screwgate biners securely attach to your tools. I am not a big fan of climbing with tethers but in certain situations dropping and axe is day ending event or worse. In those situations this leash from BD is a solid option.

Work Great

Spin and lock as advertised. Give me more trust I’m not loosing my tools.

Does What It Is Supposed To Do

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this on a week-long glacial ice climbing trip where a dropped tool would end up in the bottom of a crevasse. The mini-locking carabiners fit my Petzel Sumtec tools securely. The swivel is stiff and doesn't swivel all that well, but it is not a problem. It would work just as well without the swivel and would save the weight.

Do Their Job. Would Be

Do their job. Would be nice to have these offered in full strength so they could be used in anchor building.

Does The Job

What you see is what you get really. They work perfectly fine.

Good Upgrade From The Old Style

The spinner leash is just a bit longer than the old model of this leash system. The extra length is great because it gives enough room to move without taking away my reach. The carabiner attachments are more than you need but the carabiners offer great security for the tools. The swivel also helps the leash from getting tangled while leading.
