The DMM IMP Brass Nuts let you take advantage of the smallest and most marginal placements. Nut heads are made of brass, allowing them to bite into small placements but making them strong enough to resist pulling through. These are soldered directly on to wires, allowing a thicker wire to be used and increasing the strength of the IMP. The swage on the wire is colour coded for quick size selection, and allows one side of the wire to slide, letting the IMP self equalize when loaded and increasing placement security.
Features:Micro protection for small cracks: As climbs become harder, the need to make the most of all available protection increases. Micro protection lets you protect cracks which normal sized pieces would not fit. Having these wires on your rack gives you more options.Wires soldered directly into heads for strength: The wires of IMPS and Brass Offsets are soldered directly into their heads. This allows a thicker wire to be used, increasing the strength rating of each nut.Brass heads for optimal characteristics in marginal placements: The DMM protection range is colour coded for quick and easy size selection. Colours are co-ordinated across passive and active protection, for quick selection of alternatives if your first choice doesn't fit.Passive protection works in wet and icy conditions: Passive protection works by jamming in constrictions to prevent falls. It is suitable for use in all conditions. Unlike active protection such as cams, passive protection can be used in wet or icy cracks, where friction is reduced.

The DMM Brass Offsets are a crucial tool for protecting small flared cracks, they often fit perfectly into spaces nothing else will fit into. The brass used for the head of the nut is soft enough to bite into placements, but hard enough to resist deforming and pulling through. Wires are soldered directly into the nut head, allowing a thicker wire to be used and increasing overall strength. The colour coded swage gives easy size selection and allows the Brass Offset to self equalise when loaded, making the most of marginal placements.
The long awaited micro cam from DMM is here! The Dragonfly Microcam device is an awesome piece of trad climbing rock protection that is lightweight, hardwearing and superbly flexible when placed. The narrow head and flexible stem make them the superior camming unit for limestone pockets but equally comfortable in granite and gritstone splitters. The size 1 Dragonfly is DMM's smallest certified climbing cam. The six cams in the range cover placements from 7.8mm – 28.3mm.
The DMM Dynatec 11mm Open Slings can be used for belays, running belays and to form a quickdraw using 2 karabiners, they are made with Dyneema® and rated at 22kN.
The DMM Dynatec 11mm Quickdraw Tapes are individual quickdraw extenders that can be used in between two karabiners to make a quickdraw. One end of the tape has a sewn-in 'tadpole' retainer of rubber which a karabiner can thread through and then clip onto the rope, making the karabiner less likely to spin or become cross-loaded by the rope in the event of a fall. The longer lengths are useful for trad climbing, particularly single rope use as there is less chance of rope drag and movement lifting out placed protection.
The DMM Dynatec 8mm Open Slings are great keeping down the weight of your rack and are just as strong as their thicker variants. These skinny slings are particularly useful for narrow thread protection and they feature a plastic binding over the stitching for abrasion resistance. They are rated the same as the 11mm version (22kN).
The DMM Halfnuts excel in shallow placements, pin scars and situations where every gram counts. If they look familiar it’s because they have the same tapered faces and side profile as DMM’s tried and tested Wallnuts. The combined weight of the 1-11 Halfnut sets are 42% lighter than the equivalent Wallnuts and they are similarly colour coded.
The DMM Micro Wallnuts are for use in extremely narrow cracks where a normal Wallnut size 1 is too big. The large contact surface area of the Micro Wallnuts allows them to spread loads over a greater area of rock, decreasing the chance of the rock failing. They feature straight sides to give alternative placement options to our other alloy micro-protection. Used in conjunction with Peenuts they provide comprehensive protection for small cracks in friable rock.
