In reply to UKC Gear:

"...they fit more types of placements than other set of nuts and are more lightweight, too."

English?

The comparison between the flexibility of the reviewers threaded nuts and these wired nuts is irrelevant. How do they compare with other wired nuts?

It's not very clear to me why they are better (than what?) from this review. Both Pottsworth's and Toby Archer's reviews were more specific and much more clear in this respect.

In reply to flaneur: If they are the same shape as normal curves they are sticky as hell. Add a grade to your climb if you are seconding and you have to get many of them out. Awesome for the leader though!
