DMM Alloy Offset Nuts Review by Jurassic Climbing

Pros: Work where standard nuts or cams just don’t, useful in flared cracks, secondary axis taper good for more traditional placements, works great in more textured rock

Cons: Harder for your second to clean, less ideal in more parallel-sided cracks, expensive, no smaller sizes in this line

DMM Alloy Offset Nuts Description

The DMM Alloy Offset nuts are untouched by rival protection types because of their overall versatility and how bomber they are in placements where other types won’t seat effectively. These Alloy Offsets are designed to fit into pin scars and flaring cracks, and they are by far our favorite for these types of placements. The body of the nut seems to have angles on every side and direction with the main sides indented and weight lightening holes through the other sides. The wires are substantial and are recessed into the top of the nut with a plastic cover over the swage.

Key Updates: –

Work great in pin scars, flares, or other spots where cams don’t work
Recessed wires on the top help them fit in tight spots
Works well along secondary axes for more versatility
One of the better options for textured or large-grained rock
Harder to clean than traditionally tapered nuts
Don’t work as well in more parallel-sided cracks

The Jurassic Verdict

Jurassic think that DMM Alloy Offsets are some of the best specialist nut devices available on the market. They come in five sizes, ranging from 12.0mm offset to a 30.0mm offset. Which is great but DMM could really do with adding more smaller sizes to the range. In use they consistently provide solid placements where standard nuts or cams won’t. They seem to have a perfect offset shape and with the side indents seem to place in smooth and rough textured rocks. They seat so well for the leader that the downside for the second is getting them out again!

The DMM Alloy Offset Nuts are a fantastic addition to an any Trad climber’s gear rack!
