I love my nuts! Protecting the crux of Jello's 10a "Tow Away Zone" at COR with a single, bomber stopper:

In the smaller sizes they are much more truck than micro cams. I caught a 30 footer last weekend on a #4 soldered BD and a little brassie.

Roushski, I did not know that there were so many different sizes. Thank you very much for posting such a photograph of this incredible set!
It is also most interesting to see "CMI" stamped on them.

With the relatively small range of adjustment and their ability to fit in places that defy inspection, microcams are often a bit dubious pro. Small stoppers weigh nothing compared to cams of the same size and I never leave them behind. BITD RP's caught some burly falls in the alligator iron rock at Hueco Tanks.
I believe! And don't get me started on tricams!

Bump for micronuts, even the smallest microcosm can't touch that size range which is sometimes critical. We did a slab FA up in Washington once with one medium stopper plus 9 RPs and microwires as pro.
Wonder what Donini meant about slow you down a bit - placing them on the lead? or once you fall? :-)

The HB curves and brassies from SG's 5/26/14 post last page - the bulk of my first 'rack'. The rails of the larger sizes were a bonus and a curse, depending.
