If you carry stoppers, you need to also carry a nut tool. I like this Wild Country nut tool for the leash that prevents accidental drops.

For removing trad climbing gear—essential equipment for followers! The leash keeps it from getting dropped into a gear-eating crack. There’s a lighter more expensive version with wrenches built-in, too.
