    REI Members get back an estimated $ 9.00 on this item as part of their annual member refund.

    The REI Member Dividend

    The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

    Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

    Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

    Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

        Comments about Black Diamond Wired Stopper Set:

        I've never understood the reasoning for all the other manufacturers to design fancy passive protection. BD's stoppers are simple and work well. Don't waste money buying other "fancy" stoppers. These are the basis for all others and will suffice in any environment. You'll find that these cost roughly half of what some of the other brands retail for.

        Comments about Black Diamond Wired Stopper Set:

        [...] Anyhow, the BD stoppers are very easy to place. They are not as versatile as the DMM wallnuts (in that they don't fit as wide a range of contours), but this is one potential benefit they bear, as good placements in the rock are easier to identify.

        Comments about Black Diamond Wired Stopper Set:

        I love placing these stoppers! There is nothing like placing a stopper and then giving it a few hard yanks to set it in place. Cams are quicker and generally stronger but stoppers will fit in places few cams will go.

          Comments about Black Diamond Wired Stopper Set:

          They work great. Period.

          Having a "scooped-out" shape, they're really versatile, as it allows you to place the stopper facing either left or right inside a crag (depending on what fits better). One set alone covers most of what you'll need for top roping, but I'll buy another for trad.

                This is my second set of these nuts and they have never let me down, I honestly feel more safe with these baby's more than I do cams. Definitely a requirement for an average climber.
