I own a couple of these to compliment my WC friends. I've had no problems getting secure placements with them and no walking (although I don't own the largest sizes). The only issue I've had with them is that they are easy to overcam. It may be an issue with smaller range than my friends or may just be me. I will probably add another one or two in the future to give some more overlap in my rack.

I've used four different brands on nuts (not including micros) and these are the best in my opinion. The placements that I've made with these seem more secure than others.

The price on thes nuts was the best part, but I've used other brands that cost the same that I like better. As other reviewers have stated the heads on these nuts do slide. On my set all of them have this tendency, some more than others. The placements are OK, but not as good in my opinion as my other set of nuts (DMM Walnuts).

I only own two of these cams and found that they have given me very good placements. The only thing that I don't like as well between these and the WC friends is that the guide wires seem to get twisted much more often.

These were my original cams and can find nothing to fault them for. I have a couple other brands on my rack and have used a fourth brand that my climbing partner prefers and these are the best in my opinion. I particularly like the plastic 'guides' that keep the triggers from twisting. This makes life easier when you need a quick placement.
