Summary
Great idea... never use them though.
None of my climbing partners will use these, and to be honest — I've only ever placed them out of curiosity. Because of the specific width — you are limited to finding cracks with that exact proportion for the camming-ball to fit. Realistically, any other nut will do.

- The wire bends easily
- Why bother?

These are the only gear (apart from pitons) that will go into ultra thin cracks ie smaller than a black alien.
