Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"CAMP USA Ball Nuts are the only choice for hammerless aid-climbing protection in thin, parallel-sided cracks. When the going gets thin, pull the trigger and place a Ball Nut in a crack as narrow as 3mm. Release the trigger and opposing forces of the brass ball and aluminum nut holds these tiny pieces of protection in place where their 8kN-strength (1798lb-force) is ready to save your hide if you log some air time. Much faster and easier on the rock than banging in a knifeblade, CAMP Ball Nuts are the last word in protecting thin free climbs and saving time on aid-climbing lines."

From Moosejaw:
"Camp USA Ball Nuts (Fall 2009) Use Ball Nuts by Camp USA in cracks too thin for standard protection like camming units and nuts. Expansion range ratio of 2:1 in each of five sizes. Suitable for cracks ranging from 3 to 18 mm. Sold individually. Specifications: Thin crack protection 5 sizes to fit cracks ranging from 3 to 18 mm Expansion range ration of 2:1 in each of five sizes All rated to withstand 8 kN fall Color coded for easy identification Weight: 29 to 73 g"

From RockCreek:
"The Ball Nuts by Camp can give you a little giggle with its name, but when you are actually using one on a route or wall, we can promise you probably are not laughing. Designed to be used for the slim and grim placements that are awkwardly shaped or flared on thin routes or long, clean aid climbs. These weird looking "cams" can be used in cracks as small as 3mm while maintaining a breaking strength of 8 kN. Simply pull the trigger down, place your gear and when released, the opposing forces of the brass ball and aluminum nut holds the Ball Nut in place."

From GearX.com:
"Camp Ballnuts (previously known as Low Balls) are the smallest active protection devices available. They are small enough to fit where standard cams won't, and because of their spring loaded holding power, will set in places where you just can't get a chock to stay. Use them in in horizontal or vertical, parallel sided, small cracks. Expansion range ratio of 2:1 in each of five sizes. Suitable for cracks ranging from 3 to 18 mm. Sold individually. Thin crack protection 5 sizes to fit cracks ranging from 3 to 18 mm Expansion range ration of 2:1 in each of five sizes All rated to withstand 8 kN fall Color coded for easy identification Weight: 29 to 73 g Sold individually and in sets"
