    This product is for…

    Trad climbers, especially followers/seconds who need to clean gear from a route. Particularly suits those prone to dropping small tools in crack-heavy terrain.

    Worth noting…

    A pricier version with built-in wrenches exists for those wanting more functionality. Notes are uniformly positive with no criticism raised.
