The DMM Nutbuster Nut Tool is a slim stainless-steel nut key with a rubber handle, made for getting stubborn wires out without wrecking your hands. Seconding a trad route is a lot more pleasant when the gear comes out first time.

The narrow hooked tip reaches behind deeply seated nuts and into tight cracks, and the rubber-coated handle gives you comfortable leverage when hands are cold or tired. An integrated 17mm spanner is genuinely handy at the crag, and the lightening holes double as clipping points so it lives on a gear loop without adding bulk.
