Ok, so that is what my question is about. The question being, what is the difference between the single and double momba? The single is cheaper. But please dont tell me that's because it only has one biener. I'm a little confizzeled about this single and double thing with draws. They look like the set of draws I will be getting soon so if you know what this single and double thing is plz tell me.
Thanks,

Well, they both are a huge waist of money, and their are multiple other options that are cheaper and perform as well or better. The double has 2 biners, the single has one. You get excactly what you see. With the single, you choose another biner to clip into the bolt, and the mamba goes into the rope. Wiregates are safer, clip just as easy and are lighter...and they cost far less. Also, when you buy biners and runners ala carte, you can swap them into other slings, if you start trad climbing. DMM is a fine company, but these draws are not versatile enough. I would only consider these draws if I was to put up a giant overhanging sport route and wanted to equip it with primo draws and leave them there forever...come to think of it I would never buy these draws.

to tell you the truth i think that with DMM you have really a really good option but what i did was go with the petzl spirit express you can find a better set of draws and then i bouth about a dozen slings of different sizes. Anything from 120cm to 20cm i think. Any who if that doesnt work out for you try black diamind they have a lot of really good set.......

A single Nambla can be pretty dicey especially if you're a minor.
oh...Mamba. Never mind

climbingpride, dont you have draws still, it has only been a little while since we climbed together. How can both of us be in the market for draws?

Cute gadgets, they are. Really well made. Way too over desigened. The biners are sweet, and DMM is now marketing single pieces for a reasonable DMM price. Problem with that draw is the fact that when you wear out the bone (webbing) you have to send it back to England. That and the price. What a draw-back...

I love Mambas. They are perfect for quick clipping and last for years. Just donīt use them for the anchors, just for the bolts.

Mambas are really, really nice draws. My old partner had a dozen double mambas, and they are a dream to clip.
That said though, I think you can do better by mixing up sling lengths, and getting some notchless biners on some. Save money too.
