I’ve used it a bunch

This sling has so many uses. It basically lives on my harness. Use it as a rappel tether, anchor, extensions, rescue and more. It is pretty lightweight compared to other slings and it is super strong. Would highly recommend carrying one of these.

Good general purpose sling. I have used it for everything from an anchor to a hasty harness and everything In between. Rack well in sling, chain or twirl style. Soft to handle and use but still durable.

Outdoor Gear Lab Gear Review rating 4/5

The Black Diamond Nylon Sewn Runner is an excellent choice for those budget conscious climbers who would prefer to save their money to buy an extra can of beans or an ice cream cone. Even for the average climber it can be nice to have one or two Nylon sewn runners in the rack, if nothing else than to have a nice sling to rack the gear on for the hike down. This sling performs the same as the other Nylon sewn runner we tested, but costs a fair bit less, and so is the obvious choice for purchase.

Outdoor Gear Lab Gear Review rating 4/5

Black Diamonds nylon slings will best serve the recreational trad climber who needs their slings to do it all: extending gear placements, rigging anchors, backing up rappels, and slinging chocks and chickenheads are all practical applications.
