Reviewers describe the wired hex as durable, well built and a confidence-inspiring option for wider cracks, valuing it as a lighter, cheaper alternative to cams in those sizes. They mention trad and alpine use, including icy or loose cracks. There are few reviews and only one critique: a reviewer wanted a thicker, stiffer cable to make placing and cleaning easier.

Review topics: [hex, gear, cable].
"This is the cutest piece of gear I own and as reliable as they come! Haven't whipped on it yet, but one day. . . one day. . ."
"Big hex! Only complaint is couldn’t buy every size at once like the stopper pro set"
"Durable and does what is expected!"
"Hexes are underrated these days. Love 'em."
"I wanted a big Hex and that is exactly what this is. Good construction and materials. Feels like it will last for years to come."
"I’m a big fan of the BD hexes. I don’t use them too often, but when they fit they always inspire confidence. I like that they have a cable rather than a sling, however, the cable thickness could be adjusted in my opinion. If the cable were a little thicker/ stiffer it would be easier to place and clean them in my opinion."
"Hex’s are a must in my opinion for trad climbing. They offer the versatility of a nut and a cam and are great to drop into cracks. The wired option allows for a longer life span than nylon. Ounces make pounds but no need to have them reslung in ten years."
"Really good gear. I recommend it"
"bomber!"
"An old friend that is new again. The simple hex is a great way to save on weight and cost, but still have the wide crack protection."
