Here's what other sites are saying:

From RockCreek:
"Stoppers are the foundation of any climbing rack and these are the standard wired, wedge-shaped nuts for thin-crack protection. Black Diamond designed a transverse taper into the Stopper which permits good sideways placements in flares and shallow seams. This feature opens up previously unprotectable cracks, and makes Stoppers significantly more functional than other wedge-shaped nuts. The nuts are easier to remove since Black Diamond rounds-off the sharp corners that cause nuts to get hung up on crystals and irregularities inside the crack."

From Oregon Mountain Community:
"Serenity, El Matador and The Pirate are some of the classic routes that can be done with just the bread and butter of a trad rack—Black Diamond Stoppers. Their aluminum alloy is durable yet has plenty of bite to sit in rock from bulletproof granite to gritty sandstone. All stoppers are non-anodized and priced to sell, get them while they last!"

From Backcountry.com:
"Black Diamond Anodized Stoppers are light, simple, durable pieces of protection that form the cornerstone of any trad rack. This simple and effective shape fits securely around irregularities in cracks and is easily cleanable. Color coded for easy identification, you'll be sure to grab the right nut when the pump-clock is ticking fast. *Sizes 1 and 2 are meant for aid climbing only."
