It took me a while to find a place where these cams worked well, I played with them on limestone and quartzite but i refused to use them on those rock types after tring them, but on the North shore of lake Superior at Carlton peak, I can't remember the rock type but its formations resemble granite, they fit very well in these cracks and I think they will work just as well in granite but i havent tried it yet

I bought these to start my rack, they work smoothly, the extendable sling is great, they have good solid stops and you cant go wrong at this price. The problem with the larger sizes brought up by others who have bought them is how close the center lobes are together and this could cause the cam to walk, I have heard that Rock Empire has since fixed this problem but i havent seen the new ones yet.

I own almost 3 sets of smilies and there is nothing more comforting than the feel of the #13 snuging into a crack. The smallest 3 are pretty much worthless, I dont think i've ever used them (I weigh in around 210#). The anodizing is probably the next best feature of these nuts, its very easy to identify the size you want after you've used them for a while.

These are a nice addition to my Smilies, if there is a placement that the Smilies arent quite fitting, it seems these nuts work well. For the price, its a hgreat way to add some variety to your nuts.
