Alloy Offsets

DMM is bringing an old favourite back to the market. The high demand for these nuts is because their complex offset shape offers placement opportunities when nothing else will fit.

These nuts are based on the famed HB Alloy Offsets and were produced using modified versions of the original HB dies. In typical DMM fashion we have brought them into the 21st century with colour coded sizing, recessed wires and lightening holes in the largest two sizes.

Other features include:

  • DMM's accurate heat treatment process which optimises the physical properties of the alloy to maximise bite.
  • We've recessed the top of the nut and countersunk all other drilled radiuses in order to both avoid stress points where the wire enters the nut and also protects the wire from abrasion damage.
  • The nuts are all rumbled well to remove sharp edges that can hinder placement.
  • We use a full size crimp because this is critical to safety.
  • The label is upside down so you can check the size easily when they are on your harness and it is also double sealed so that it does not tear over time.

Reviews:

"DMM Alloy Offsets, while expensive, are the most versatile fitting nut on the market. If you are into aid climbing these nuts are a must have. If you are a cam junky and only place a nut where a cam absolutely won't fit, more often than not you'll find yourself reaching for Alloy Offset nuts. All in all an excellent nut; bomber in many places where most other nuts don’t come close."

"The Offsets had a minor renaissance this decade when Andy Kirkpatrick lauded them in his magazine column, but when HB went bankrupt it seemed that the Offsets would be no more. Hence it was with real pleasure that Offset-lovers heard that DMM had bought the moulds and would bring the Offsets back to market."

"DMM rightly realised that the shape was good already so have made no changes to the fundamental design of the nuts, but they have added some features."
