Worry about the nut, not the tool
Love my WC Nut Tool. The leash should be standard on all nut tools because I need to let go of it frequently to get a better angle on the nut I’m trying to wiggle free. Especially if you don’t want to take on the route, being able to just let go of the tool and get to a different angle on the crack is glorious! People say it’s a little heavier than other nut tools, but I actually like that. I can hack at the rock without hurting my hand or feeling like I’m going to break it. The hook at the end is perfect to fit around the nuts, and the flat end on the other side is extra thick if you’re trying to get at the nut from the bottom and push up. I’d definitely recommend!
Awesome nut tool
I love my Wild Country pro key nut tool. I've always hated having to worry about dropping my nut tool, and the built in tether is the perfect length to reach placements even at eye level for me, but I don't have to worry about dropping it. Another awesome feature is the fold at the edge to allow you to hammer the base of the tool woth your hand without the pain that is normally inflicted when removing a nut that's firmly embedded. Overall I've been completely satisfied with this tool, and the service at the REI store I bought it at.
Solid nut tool
This is a super solid nut tool. I like the end where you can give the tool a nice solid bump with your palm. The leash can be a little annoying, so just make you want the leash version. (I probably wont think its annoying after the first time I drop it and the leash saves my butt)
Wild Country (Super-Duper) Pro Leash
I purchased this nut tool about 5 years ago when I bought my Wild Country Classic Rocks. Amazingly, the leash helps when getting nitty gritty and removing a properly welded nut or some crag booty without dropping your tool at height. Once when teaching a beginner on the ground, they accidentally got my brand new cam stuck in an inwards flaring crack, I used the tool to chip away and open the granite enough to get my new toy back. The pro key didn't take the slightest damage as I sawed and bashed away at the tough quartzite granite. Pros: -> Durable -> Leash and carabiner style clip to keep it neat on the harness -> Slim profile w/ a large surface area to use it as a "hammer" Cons: -> None Suggestion: Similar to Metolius, I think cutouts usable to tighten bolts would be nice. I do not think this is a necessity or a downfall of the product. Also, I think the leash attachment part could be larger, but I have no issue with my Arcteryx AR385-a XS harness.
Solid, reliable.
I've used this for a season and a half now. And I still love it like the day I opened the bag it came in. The lanyard has saved me once or twice. It doesn't feel cheap in any layer of construction.
Worry no more!
I really like the leash. I never have to worry about dropping the tool when climbing
solid nut tool
Love that it has the flattened palm end and leash included. Only (small) gripe is that the leash clip is pretty small and I have to be mindful of it actually clipping fully on my gear loops (women's BD solution guide harness).
One of the best nut tools out there.
Both of the clips are easy to use and sturdy. The lanyard is strong and allows for a long stretch. It would be nice of some of the voids within the frame were designed to fit common bolt heads. The flat portion on the clip end is especially nice to have. Saves your palm when you're trying to push a nut out.
Strong and Super Useful
This was sturdy enough not to feel cheep. The band on it is strong. Got caught in a rock when dropped and was perfectly fine. The surface area on the back side for knocking out nuts was small enough to be streamlined but also big enough to get a good clean, easy hit.
Really, the best nut tool out there. My only complaint is that if you're really working a stuck piece (ie pounding it out with the rock) sometimes the tool can snap at the level opposite the carabiner gate.
