Offset nuts offer a broader fit for crack placements compared to traditional chocks or small cams. Crafted from lightweight 6061 aluminum, they significantly reduce weight. The color-coded heads make it a breeze to pick the right size during your climb. You can buy them individually or as a set of 5. These nuts are over tumbled, ensuring easy placement and removal. They're strong, light, and color-coded for quick identification. The #7 - #11 set covers placements from 9.4 - 30mm (0.37 - 1.18 inches). Lighter than cams, you can carry more of these useful pieces of gear. #7: 7 KN, 28 G, Range: 9.4MM - 15MM (0.37 - 0.59 inches); #8: 7 KN, 30 G, Range: 10.2MM - 18.8MM (0.40 - 0.74 inches); #9: 7 KN, 35 G, Range: 12.5MM - 21.8MM (0.49 - 0.85 inches); #10: 7 KN, 40 G, Range: 14MM - 26MM (0.55 - 1.02 inches); #11: 7 KN, 50 G, Range: 17.5MM - 30MM (0.68 - 1.18 inches); Set of 5: 185 G, Range: 9.4MM - 30MM (0.37 - 1.18 inches).
Using these Trango offset nuts is quite straightforward. When you're climbing and find a suitable crack, just select the right nut based on the color-coded head and the crack size. Place the nut into the crack gently and ensure it's secure. Since they're over tumbled, they should go in and come out easily. As for the weight, they're much lighter than cams, so you can carry more of them with you. When it comes to maintenance, after each climb, check the nuts for any signs of damage like cracks or dents. If you find any, it's best to replace the nut. Keep them clean and dry to prevent rusting. Also, store them in a cool, dry place. Don't use these nuts in extreme weather conditions or on surfaces that are too rough, as this can damage them. And always double - check the placement before relying on them for safety.
