Trango Ball Nuts Set 1 - 5 offers more than just a cool aid - climbing tool. These BALL NUTZ are super - useful for all thin cracks, even as narrow as 1/8 of an inch! Unlike small cams, they fit perfectly in shallow cracks, 'bottle necks' and other tight spots where cams can't go. The triggered semi - spherical ball can rotate about 20 degrees, adapting well to various flares and tapers. For aid climbers, BALL NUTZ are a quicker and lighter alternative to thin blade and wedge pitons, and they won't harm the crack. Free climbers, no more wasting time 'fishing' for a nut in the crack. Just inject a BALL NUT, tug it firmly to set the placement, and clip with a 'draw' to keep climbing smoothly. Here are the details: 1. Size 3 - 6 mm, weighs 29 gm, strength 4.5 KN, color blue; 2. Size 4.5 - 9 mm, weighs 39 gm, strength 8 KN, color red; 3. Size 6 - 12 mm, weighs 48 gm, strength 8 KN, color gold; 4. Size 9 - 13 mm, weighs 61 gm, strength 8 KN, color green; 5.

Using these Trango Ball Nuts is easy. For thin cracks, just pick the right size according to the crack width. Inject the ball nut into the crack and give it a firm tug to set it in place. Then clip it with a 'draw' and you're good to go. When it comes to safety, always check the strength rating on each nut to make sure it can handle your weight. For maintenance, after each climb, give the nuts a quick clean to remove dirt and debris. Store them in a dry place to prevent rust. Avoid using them in extremely harsh conditions that could damage the nuts. With proper use and care, these ball nuts will serve you well on your climbing adventures.
