Service & Delivery comments:

Dear Sirs, Here follows a warning for European Internet buyers.I bought 2 ball nutz for a sales price of [$]Above that I had to pay $ [$]Transport cost, wich I find pritty stiff for something small which you can send in an enveloppe by mail. But then at delivery I had to pay European Sales tax [$], calculated over the purchase including transport cost. Above that I had to pay customs clearing cost [$ That makes [$ extra cost in total. The result is that I bought nuts at a cost of [$],- each. For me this is prohibitive. Regards, Wolter van den Toorn

This is a good protection on thin cracks where friends or cams can not get in.... but with a good jerk or a flying it´s very difficult to put-out, even with an extractor.

Comments about Trango BallNutz:

I have two sets and use them all the time. They place solid and for the most part are removed very easily. When loaded by aid or a fall they can become twisted and that does affect their performance. I would like to see the 1 and 2 beefed up a little so they don't get hammered every time you load one but the price does make it easier to replace one if damage does occur.

Great for Aid Climbing!

By CaptKru from Seattle, WA on 12/29/2006

Comments about Trango BallNutz:

Bought a few of these before a climbing trip up Washington Column last summer, they worked great for aid climbing. I was climbing a little fast and sloppy on an easier pitch and pulled three nuts before getting stopped by a ballnut. I was sold after that. Very small and light, great to have on your rack. The trigger is a little smaller then I would like, but other then that it gets 5 stars
