    Peter Thomas's review

    These are my favorite stoppers! The offsets tend to seat better in most placements. When climbing longer routes, I often also carry some additional non-offset stoppers, though these get used the most.

    The offset rack. Offset Nuts are awesome. With their differently designed bodies, they often fit in the cracks that make a standard stopper marginal. Although incredible, I do not deem a necessity.

    These stoppers will fit in pin scars and flared cracks where traditional stoppers don't fit. A great supplement to your trad rack.
