Anodized heads on the DMM Wallnuts help you pick the right size to fit the crack when you're way run out and desperate for a piece of pro. In addition to their excellent color coding, Wallnuts have concave grooves in their curved heads to allow them to fit securely in little crannies where other nuts can't go. The next time Elvis leg is shaking out your teeth and a quickly placed piece of gear is a necessity for the send, reach for a DMM Wallnut.

It is no secret why these nuts have nothing but 5-star reviews. They are wonderful. The groove in the curved heads really makes it easy to fit these into cracks and crevices really snug. They bite the rock quite easily which also provides me with a sense of security while on the wall. None of the other stoppers I have used compare to these. Definitely would recommend to all for building their rack or just doubling up on sizes.

Took my first big fall on the #1 yesterday. Definitely a bomber little piece of pro! If it wouldn't have held, I probably would have landed on my belayer since it was a shorter route and I only had 2 other pieces below me. Thanks for the catch!

DMM wallnuts are the best I have used. Sleek design, nice anodized colors for easy identification and easy, solid placement. I have doubles in most sizes and just replaced a lost #5. Not cheap but the best i've tried.

I can't say anything bad about these guys - they're incredibly versatile and bomber as they come with a good placement. I just picked up a #4, 5 & 6 to double up on the most frequently used sizes in my full #1-11 set. I can't count the number of times I've been half way up a pitch wishing I had doubles!

I love DMM stoppers. They're light and their shape is just perfect. So easy to place. Sometimes too easy. I have definitely lost several pieces when they got stuck on the climbs.

After having used several brands of stoppers, I like DMM over all the rest. They are lighter, and seat better due to the groove that runs lengthwise down the convex face of the head. Great nuts.

dont really use the larger ones in the valley, but i have cams for those sizes. i place these all over. these are the only nuts i have and the only nuts we use even though my partner have wild country rocks, dont need them.

I have led pitches on friends' BD stoppers as well as my Wallnuts. My general impression is that the complex shape of the Wallnuts (shallow cutouts on the wide sides and a slightly more pronounced curve) sometimes give you a better placement. I climb on featured, East Coast rock, and I especially notice that a small crystal or bump will sometimes seat nicely in the cutout and give you extra confidence that the piece won't walk. If you want the best, Wallnuts are it. The question is whether you feel the need for that slim advantage over cheaper options like the standard BD stoppers.

A lot! If I had the dough, all my nuts would be DMM.

These are my favorite every day use nuts. They bite great and seem to fit better than any other nuts i have. The smaller sizes are my favorite in these. I find myself going for those sometime on nearly every climb and they have held whipper after whipper.

Really useful shape, very versatile, very strong for the size and weight as compared to other brands they are very tough too. I also really like the fact that they are made in wales. Kind of not important but it makes me happy I really like the colors

The Wallnuts are bomb proof. If fallen on, they can be a little tougher than other nuts to clean, but the piece of mind climbing above them are worth it. As with all the DMM products I've used, their quality is top of the line.

Haven't whipped on these yet, but placing and cleaning is a breeze. Good to feel stoked on the pro you're counting on. These are also offset pretty well by the Omega Pacific ABCs.

Wallnuts are about the best standard nut you can get (in my opinion). They fit well in all kinds of places and are easy to place. I dig em.

As the other reviews have stated, these nuts are shaped perfectly. When I lead with my friends' racks, their stoppers always seem to take extra fiddling to get around irregularities in the crack. The scalloping, the curve, the rounded edges--these nuts place fast, clean easily, and are simply the best I've ever used. They've even arrested a fall or two, which isn't surprising, but definitely inspires confidence. I've also got the Peenuts, which supplement these bad boys perfectly--and are invaluable for pin scars. DMM makes the best nuts--period.

I have used nuts of all major brands on the market, and DMM Wallnuts are the best in their class. Tapered shape and groves allow reliable placements in variety of cracks and pokets where no other stoppers work. DMM simply sets the standard for all other manufacturers to follow based on performance, not on the dollar spent on advertisement. It's sad that their new anodization color pattern does not follow the rainbow order of colors. After creating such a great stopper, they are dropping the ball on the colors. What are they thinking about?

Easy to identify colors that match DMM cams and wild country cams/nuts/hexes. They feel very bomber but aren't to heard to remove. The shapes are great allowing you to take advantage of irregularities in the rock. The best I have ever used, expand the set by getting the bigger size wild country rocks!

These nuts bite much better than any other piece I've used, whether BD, Wild Country, or Metolius. The complex grooves and scalloping make for confidence-inspiring placements.

many more options with these than bd because of the complex shape. very similar to wild country. I have yet to try the metolious nuts but I can say these are very good.
