Excellent. I had the heavier stainless steel one. Really, this is all you need.With a nut-tool you'll want it long, light, and with a nifty carabiner to keep it handy.I had the heavier Metolius nut-tool and promptly returned it. There's no reason to be setting nuts with that much force that it'd require such a burly heavy tool. A good placement should just take a gentle tug in the direction of fall.Too small and light. This was my first nut-tool, and I figured lighter was better. I was wrong. Now, I've got a big, heavy, old-school nut tool. I find that the weight makes it easier to tap a nut out of a constriction. Now, I sometimes use this tool as a "just in case" tool on pitches I lead. If I'm cleaning, I leave it, and bring the heavy one. Your mileage may vary. This tool is light and well constructed.Lightweight but strong (tried to close my car door on it once and it bent... straightened it out and still works just fine). Would be nice if it came with a leash though.My faultSuper light weight, still holding up.The material is soft so it absorbs the hit when tapping out a nut, making it impossible to get many placements to move. In contrast, those same placements come out easily with a metal tool that transfers the strike without absorbing the energy. I threw my feather tool away! Flawed product design.
