Description

A spring-loaded impact nut tool, LittleHammer delivers a percussive force to release stuck nuts, hexes, and RP's easily with one hand / either hand.

LittleHammer excels when dealing with RP’s and other micro nuts that are hard to dislodge being too small to strike accurately.

Of course, LittleHammer can be used for all the usual nut tool tasks like levering and hooking cam triggers too. The hook on the handle end of LittleHammer is for reverse impacts to get aid gear out: beaks, tomahawks, and peckers. No other nut tool can perform this function. We’ve also had good results experimenting with stuck cams using the reverse impact on each cam lobe.

LittleHammer is the heavyweight of nut tools: laser-cut from 2.6mm (7/64") stainless steel with a brass impact weight and stainless steel spring, it will last in all weather. Designed for years of hard use in trad or aid climbing; simple Allen screw assembly means it can be disassembled easily to be maintained for a long life of service.

Manufactured in Central Victoria, Australia.

Good looking fella, just hangs around and does nothing

Pros
Conversation starter
Cons
Doesn't do the job
Heavy
Butt too small
Familiarity
I’ve used it a bunch

I tried to make this work.  Really tried.  The trigger would cock open the spring, even before the nose touched the nut.  Probably you need optimal conditions of rock for this to work.  We hung on to this during a climbing festival, in anticipation of having to remove ton of nuts.  It couldn't ev

en get one nut out in the fashion it is supposed to.  Plus not much of curvature and the nose is too short for it to get behind the really stubborn nuts.  

All in all, it worked well as a spoon, and caught attention of everyone, but didn't do its job.  Waste of metal on this tool.
