| These things are like 1-2 years old. And it's easy for them to stay like this. I could maybe see if I had 1 janky biner do this, but 2 of them?

| I'll try and wash them, but they aren't that dirty and I don't even use these ones that much. I'd expect it from my draws that I thrash, but not on these that I just use for extending trad placements. |

Wax based lube is one of the worst things, besides a petroleum based lube. Soften up a candle then throw some dirt on in and see how that goes. Graphite ftw, Teflon second up |

The dirt is inside the internals .... Ive had quality dmm biners do that as well as cheap bds
Name brand doesnt mean anything if theres dirt inside |

Do you know what those wax based lubes where designed for? They come from the cycling industry and they are ment for winter riding where water threatens to wash away a thinner lube. You put those wax based lubes in dry conditions and it becomes a a gummy mess. My years of being a bike mechanic and mtb guide in Tahoe back this up. |

There IS a story there for sure.
Man, how I feel for some of my "Seconds" back in the late 80's, early 90's when I went on the "locker craze"...

That's a beauty!
Man, I had those fukers on most every piece of gear I owned. Just couldn't have enough lockers (thus my nickname).
Just for the fun of it, try this sometime.
Get on whatever climb you think your second might have difficulty on following. Get to the crux and stick a fucking LOCKER on the draw. Wrench that fucker down as TIGHT as you can possibly get it, then start listening for your second to start cursing at you (For best results, put a locker on each end).
Never fails to put a big smile on my face...
Would I use that locker above in the photo? Probably...
