Comments about DMM Peenuts - Set 1-5:

although nice. these aren't a replacement for offset brass. i really like the new trend in nuts being color coded, thus you are not sorting through scraped up heads looking for something smaller (when your forearms are sucking all the usable oxygen out of your brain). Don't be fooled by the cheaper price than brass you are still going to need brass to thwart off gravity on hard seam test pieces. Or you are faced with just running it out with which you will need only large cajones.

bottom line, these are a compliment to a regular nut rack not brass.

be safe.

Great set. These nuts slide into place and are really bomber. Have taken a few falls on them and held solid every time.

Comments about DMM Peenuts - Set 1-5:

These super-light, little guys fit in the tiniest, oddly shaped spots, and they feel totally bomber. There's something about the shape that lets the Peenuts drop into placements that even the same sized DMM Wallnut just won't. When I've got my Elvis leg going and I need a small stopper, these keep me from losing my cool.
