DMM HB Alloy Offset Stopper Set - Sizes 7-11
Designed to protect irregular and flared cracks that regular nuts cannot, the DMM HB Alloy Offset stopper set in sizes 7–11 comprises asymmetrically tapered nuts with a robust 12 kN strength rating.
- Asymmetrical taper gives stable placements in offset cracks: offset taper protects cracks where normal nuts would not sit properly, such as flared cracks and peg scars
- DMM recommends using these in conjunction with Wallnuts (not included) to find security in almost any crack for comprehensive all-season crack protection
- Grooved faces improve security in irregular rock: a groove machined into their faces allows them to sit better in irregular placements and on highly featured rock
- Allows placement in 2 orientations: Passive protection can be placed either side or face on, doubling the number of cracks any single piece can protect
- Passive protection works in wet and icy conditions: Passive protection works by jamming in constrictions to prevent falls; it is suitable for use in all conditions
- Unlike active protection such as cams, passive protection can be used in wet or icy cracks, where friction is reduced
- Nuts are mounted on wires set into a recess to reduce wear
- Larger sizes have holes that reduce weight
- Certification for all sizes: EN 12270:2013
- Color-coded for easy size selection; colors are coordinated across passive and active protection, for quick selection of alternatives if your first choice doesn't fit

Offsets are great! Better than classic stoppers
Offsets are so good! I've stopped using classic stoppers and now only climb with these offsets and a bunch of cams. I find these offsets easier to place than the traditional nut/stopper design, and they just fit really well in the rock. This is the second review on this page, and the first reviewer wrote that they were surprised that there weren't more reviews. The reason is that DMM has slightly changed the design, in a way that is mostly cosmetic, so I'd recommend reading the reviews for the previous, nearly identical version: see https://www.rei.com/product/778278/dmm-alloy-offset-stopper-set-7-11. I'll attach a photo showing my older set (purchased about a year and a half ago), and these ones. I liked them so much I got a second set. They are rated to the same strength (12 kilonewtons), the sizes and colors are the same, and there's been a slight change to the holes in the sides of the larger offsets, as well as to the color of the little label that wraps around the wire. Other than that the two versions appear identical as far as I can tell.
Essential
Shocked that there aren't any reviews for these yet! I don't climb trad without them and ALWAYS use them on every pitch. Great to place and to clean, extremely versatile, and I always have a few pieces left for the anchor. Bomber.
awesome!
I have a set of these already and am considering getting a second. They are awesome. They are so versatile and fit where no other gear will fit, and the rocks here in the mid-Atlantic seem to just eat them up perfectly.
