The Black Diamond Nut Tool is a simply great nut tool. The nicely shaped "foot" grabs triggers on cams that walk into cracks, and is a great device for coaxing out stuck stoppers, tri-cams, & hexes. The flattened end is great for bashing with a spare carabiner or a rock to free very stuck gear, and also functions superbly as a bottle opener.

Nothing goes with trad climbing like a cold on in camp

Rating:*****

This thing removes stuck gear and opens a bottle at camp. What else do you want it to do? Carry your pack for you? The one drawback is that the backside is a little too skinny to really bang on it when youÂ’re working on a stuck stopper. Fix this problem by wrapping the back with tape, giving you a soft pad to hit the palm of your hand.

go with a screw driva

Rating:*****

I find this gets the job done. It also helps to place nuts in places that are just out of reach. I find myself using a big screw driver to remove many a stuck nut as well the screwdriver - just gives better leverage.

Simple is Best

Simple nut tool, looked somewhat weak in the pictures but when I got the tool in the mail I was relieved the see that it was much more durable than the pictures.

simple, lightweight, a necessary component of any rack, hurts the palm a little for a nut thats really stuck but part of the game is not being a whiney little b!+(h

Standard

Rating:*****

This is the standard nut tool, lightweight and works pretty well. I usually end up hitting the end with a carabiner to get more force than using this with finesse though.

A Tool For Many Occasions

Rating:****

Great for cleaning before placement. Easy to use & remove hardware. Functional design. Many other non-climbing uses.

Just as good as the other.

This nut tool does as good as job as any other like it has done. It would be great for a starter kit or as a backup. Lightweight and easy to maneuver.

Unfortunately I have another nut tool that I prefer (Ti ¨Ushba¨ from Russia). I think all nut tools should have a small flat section on the non-hook end (like my Ushba and some other brands) so you don´t have to hack up your hand
(or Krabs when your desperate). Fine
if you have a rock or aid hammer though . Stamped out of sheet and unmachined, so the edges are sharp. Good shape on the hook, nice weight saving relief. I keep mine as a backup, and a cool bottle opener, for after a long days climbing.

Rough

Rating:***

It does the job, but can be a little rough around the edges, but i guesse if you are worried about scratched hands, climbing might not be for you...lol.

Works but hurts sometimes

Rating:***

I prefer the palm guard found on some other nut tools. This certainly works though.
