> I noticed dmm put 2 rivets in. Good idea.
When I reviewed the DMM Switches last winter I said they were a bit on the hefty side.
http://www.ukclimbing.com/gear/review.php?id=6189 DMM wanted some comeback on that which is fair enough so their comment was added into the review
"The underlying requirement was to make a set of tools that offer exceptional performance and are built to withstand the rigours of modern climbing by being ‘bombproof’ - sturdy, strong and dependable.
DMM have engineered the light, balanced, and supremely strong ‘T Rated Integrity Construction’ method using high quality materials, full strength, T Rated components throughout and bonded, double riveted component interfaces. We have encased the CNC'd handles with a highly insulated, durable, grippy, fully integrated moulding."
Which seems fair enough - I think they are honestly just saying if you want a tool that is nearly indestructible, it's gonna weigh more! Wobbly bits on Nomics seem to suggest this might be the truth.
