DMM Nutbuster Rubber Handled Steel Nut Key  £14.00

DMM Nutbuster

An essential tool for retrieving rock climbing protection.

You might be thinking that a nut key is just a nut key, plain and simple – it’s just a piece of metal that dislodges jammed nuts? What else could anybody do to improve that?

Quite a lot it seems. The more we got into the design process, the more we realised how much we could improve upon the standard designs. First off we gave it a wide rubber handle to make it easy to hold, so no more skinned knuckles when your hand slips off and rags against the rock. The rubber handle gives a firm grip and stops the metal digging into your hand when you hit a stuck nut. The rubber handle can also be removed to reveal a 17mm spanner that lets you tighten loose bolts. It’s made from the finest stainless steel for strength and corrosion resistance and laser cut to a precise shape which tapers down so that you can reach into narrow placements. The Nutbuster has holes cut into it to minimise weight.

A versatile and functional tool that every trad climber should carry.

Top tip: Tie a small loop of 3 or 4mm accessory cord through the hole in the handle and use this to attach the Nutbuster to your racking biner. This reduces the danger of stabbing yourself with the nut key in a fall situation.

Features

• Rubber Handle makes retrieving stuck protection easier: The Nutbuster's rubber handle protects your hands if you need to hit the end to retrieve stuck gear.
• Laser cut from stainless steel for low weight and corrosion resistance: Stainless steel construction increases the Nutbusters longevity by protecting it against corrosion. It also reduces weight, so carrying a Nutbuster won't slow you down.
• Narrow profile aids access to deep or awkward placements: The Nutbuster is thin and has a relatively small head, allowing it to reach placements that would otherwise be very difficult to clean.
• 17mm spanner lets you tighten loose bolts: Underneath the rubber handle is a 17mm spanner that will fit most bolts, allowing you to tighten loose bolts on sport routes.
• Lightening holes to reduce weight
