Basically I agree with everyone else. They are small and light and clippy.

Good Value 5 out of 5 stars

I picked this set up when Omega Pacific was selling them off their website for $55. Came with a nut tool too. They are the exact same as all the other regular sets of stoppers/nuts/wedges, just cheaper.

Feel Heavy Duty 5 out of 5 stars

Review by: Rudmin, 2010-04-26


Just got 4 of them so can't comment on durability yet, but they feel confidence inspiring. Not as skinny as BD dyneema slings, but not as bulky as nylon or webbing. The high strength is a bonus I guess. I bought them online so they all came in different colours even though they are the same length. I am not sure if I like this or not yet.

Cleverest Cam Out There 5 out of 5 stars

Review by: Rudmin, 2010-02-14


I think that the Max Cam gets a lot of bad rep for not looking or functioning the same as other cams. I picked up the 0.75 for cheap and really love it. Contrary to what I read, it was not tricky, or particularly advanced to place. Just squeeze the trigger like any other cam. The range makes it a great go to piece. The only problem is that they seem to have disappeared off the face of the earth.

One thing I forgot to add is that the range isn't really 2:1. It might be possible to manipulate the lobes to get 2:1 but not by pulling the trigger. Maybe it's 1.8:1 or something similar to C4s
