From Backcountry.com:
"Black Diamond Micro Stoppers are ultra-thin protection for aid climbing and thin trad lines. Copper-infiltrated steel heads fight shearing better than solid copper but are soft enough to prevent breaking the rock. The heads are swaged onto the cables, providing a more durable attachment than soldering. With Micro Stoppers you'll be able to sew up the thinnest cracks, even if you can't get your fingers in them. *Sizes 1 and 2 are meant for aid climbing only."

From CampSaver.com:
"20% off Coupon Available! The Black Diamond Microstopper is excellent for building that equalized ratis nest just before you punch it to the next distant placement. Their patented, swaged assembly uses galvanized cables that are stronger and more flexible than silver soldered stainless steel.Bottom line: theyire less prone to fraying after repeated use."

From EMS:
"A set of 6 micro stoppers for ultrathin cracks, seams, and fissures. Copper-infiltrated iron heads for tenacious bite while reducing shearing. Galvanized cables are stronger, more flexible than traditional steel, making them less prone to fraying after repeated use. Transverse tapers allow sideways placement. Rounded corners for easier removal. Thicknesses range from 0.2 to 0.345 inches. Stoppers are neatly attached to an oval-wire biner."
