Yeah blindslap, you probably shouldn't use that biner anymore...
Send it to me and I'll look at it through my electron microscope. There's sure to be some "invisible to the naked eye" stress fractures.
Email me at dannp512@aol.com for my address and I'll even pay the shipping.

I would lose the broken biner. Assume that it is cracked and throw it out.

You could always do what one of my partners did and hang it off you rear view mirror.

dropped binners are best used for hanging your shoes from them, or giving to friends who stole your women LOL
