Rack up with the DMM Wallnut Set on your next trad climbing trip, and they'll amaze you with their easy selection and solid placement. Their color-coded anodized heads help you pick the right size the first time, so you can quickly slot the nut in a bomber constriction and move on before the pump clock starts ticking. Wallnuts also have a curved taper with a vertical concave slot to help them seat solidly in strangely shaped cracks.

The green nut caught a ~160 lb friend on a 20 foot (total) fall yesterday. I had to hard catch for topographical reasons, thus putting even more energy into the piece. It's a tiny little nut. He thought it was going to pop, I thought it was going to pop. It didn't pop. This minuscule piece of aluminum honestly may have prevented a serious injury. I've been carrying these around for a while. They are very light and definitely a must have for runout trad leads. Cams don't fit everything! I was waiting to see how they hold a whipper to write a review. Today is the day, I guess. While a minority, there are some climbs that I would rather have these for than cams. If you are building a rack, they are well worth the money.

Nobody makes better nuts than dmm. Dmm walnuts slot and stick in nearly any crack better than their competitors. I have protected countless climbs using only wallnuts and it went fine because these things are BOMBER.

How can these be better? They just seem to always slide into place. I’ve had a few on my rack for a while and finally sprang for the whole set. I’m a happy man.

I have been taking these with me on every trad climb since I purchased them over three years ago. From Yosemite granite to desert sandstone to funky Quartzite placement, these have always been bomber. The groove in the center is great for inconsistencies or crystals inside the cracks, and even after taking multiple falls I have never fixed one. The slight taper when placed sideways allows them to fit perfectly in flared granite placements (I made it through an entire season climbing in Tuolumne without ever wishing I had offsets) and the wires have stood up to significant abuse without developing any kinks or other signs of wear. Whenever I am climbing with a partner who has their own gear, i always insist on bringing these over anything else.

I love the variety this package includes! The small ones can fit in bigger pin scars while the larger ones are great for big splitters. The grooves in the nuts are also a bonus for making weird placements feel more secure I find i consistently use the Silver-Red sizes, so stock up on those bad boys!

I love these. They seems to be built much better than other brands and are really solid. Their shape seems to also do a really good job of locking into constrictions and they don’t get stuck too often. They’re heavy like all nuts, but the larger ones being hollowed is really nice.

My first set of nuts were Omega Pacifics, once I got my hands on these wallnuts, I knew I had to switch. The curvature and design is bar to none. They are pretty damn heavy though, so I usually split them between large and small and only take them when they look like they are needed.

Got these for my starter trad rack. I have yet to take any falls on them, but they place well and give me confidence that if I did fall on them, they'd hold. I place the smallest two sizes pretty frequently and feel great climbing above them knowing that they're rated to 7 and 9 kn, respectively.

I've used BD, WC and camp stoppers and these are easily the best.

These set of nuts are a great set for starting to build your rack. They seem light and versitile and i use them in combination with some offsets and a couple smaller brass stoppers. Being new to trad I can't say that I've put them through any sort of heavy loaded falls, but when I get a good placement, the walnuts always seem to find a good fit, I feel confident in moving up the climb.

Why I use nuts? There is somewhat satisfying feeling of watching your 2nd struggle to clean a well placed nut, because had you taken a whipper, that nut would have totally saved your life.

Wallnuts are simply fantastic. If you're thinking about getting BD's, spend the extra $3 and get a set of these. You won't be disappointed. The design is much better due to the extra curvature and grooves. They sit much better in a lot of placements, but if the groove catches on something, you will not be able to remove it by yanking it up. Doing so will only kink the wire, so use the nut tool if you can't get it out after a yank. Also, these are rated to higher forces than the BD's and the wires are stiffer in the larger sizes so they don't flop around. But the best part about these is the instant security and relief you feel from clipping in to one. Nothing compares to a bomber Wallnut.

I have the full range of 1-11 and love them more than my BD stoppers. I trust them more than cams in a lot of situations. Great passive gear for a reasonable price tag!

These are a great addition to your rack, for just over a hundred bucks you can add 11 new pieces, and maybe 7 of those will get used all the time. I have only placed the smallest sizes a handful of times, but all the medium to larger sizes are super useful. Also I really like the small groove in the nut, I feel it helps to get extra secure placements in funky cracks

Great set of nuts and a necessary addition to any rack. The slotted design makes them a bit for versatile than other sets. Feel damn solid when you slot one nicely. Get 'em.
