Description
We've received a lot of feedback from consumers and team climbers about how the Curve Nuts are replacing their old nuts entirely, or at least sending them to the back of the rack. The unique patented design makes these nuts very easy to place and read. Historically, the orientation of the curves has been vertical. With the constant angle taper, it is visually easier to tell if you have a solid placement. The Metolius Curve Nut is a constant angle taper but with a twist. The curve is introduced horizontally across the two faces of the piece. These curves assure you of the solid triangulation and offer an additional benefit. Many cracks exhibit inward or outward flare and by curving the faces horizontally, the Curve Nut can naturally accommodate for this phenomenon. So all in all, you get constant angle taper, easy to visually monitor placements, and curves to set up triangulation AND allow for flares and irregularities! We are stoked to offer you this unique and highly functional design! Metolius Curve Nuts are pat. pend. All Curve Nuts are 3-sigma tested.--Metolius

Curve Nut
Review by: SnowLurk, 2010-10-23
Decent all-around nut. Your typical nut with some curve action. The curves work great for the triangulation effect. The sharper edges of the curves are "catchy". The only camplaint I would have is that they can catch before you get a decent placemet and can be a pain to re-set. Other that that, they work like a standard nut. Just more "catchy". Fun to use!
Reasonable value for the money

First set of nuts I ever bought and to be honest, I would not buy them again. Even tough I no longer own them, can still easily pick right size for the job. They did work quite all right on Limestone but my later experience on granite was not quite as good.
Very first thing to do is to cut away the color coded rubber frm the loop. That alone would improve the perfomance to 4. That is really, really annoying.

Bootyful

I only have a bootied green curve nut. I really like it. All the placements I've gotten with it have been great. I'd consider buying these but I'm waiting for DMM to release the new version of the HB offsets and I've got an a set of BD stoppers and ABC Huevos already. Otherwise, I'd really consider buying these guys or maybe the new Metolius ultralights.
