Reviewers say this nut tool reliably removes stuck nuts and over-cammed cams, and like the built-in wiregate for clipping it to a harness or nut carabiner, along with its light, sturdy build. It is used mainly for trad climbing and cleaning gear, including on guide courses. The most common critique is the lack of a tether or leash, and a few wanted a built-in wrench for loose bolts or a smaller hook end.

"No issues with the tool itself as far as it goes - but to my way of thinking, if there's one piece of gear that absolutely requires a tether to prevent accidental droppage it's a nut tool. Not including one is simply an egregious oversight by BD, from which I've come to expect more thoughtful product design/execution. The Wild Country nut tool comes with a tether in substantiation of this critically important feature. I MacGyvered a tether for the BD tool using an Avant phone tether - decent solution, not as robust as the OEM tether Wild Country offers but certainly serviceable - for an additional $15 cost. Presumably cheaper options could be found, but my fundamental point is that it should be included by every manufacturer, every time. Make it easy for customers. That's a miss!"
