BADAMI

Gipfel Climbing
Gipfel Badami Nut Tool
5.04

Nut-buster does the job

Pros
Screams home-made, but does the job.
Especially great for the small aid pieces.
Opens beer bottles, digs cat holes, also opens knots
The built in spanner!
Cons
Sharp, so can puncture bags.
Needs separate biner to clip
Familiarity
I’ve used it a bunch

After years of unremarkable use it showed its true character when I realised it could get behind the smallest nuts and get them out.  The right amount of curve and the sharp long nose...  just brilliant for aiding.
Saved a new routing day with the built in spanner.  Often used as a marlinspike (guess all but tools could do that).  Opens beer bottles (nicely at that).  The sharp edge works as a great single-tine fork!  There is a cm measurement scale along the side.

Couple of downsides.  Too sharp to be carried inside the bag.  And needs an additional biner to clip it.  Lastly, always too dirty to be used as a spoon without washing first.
Fairly durable, now into its fifth year of use.  Only the black anodised version.  The other one bends too quickly.

Good looking fella, just hangs around and does nothing

Pros
Conversation starter
Cons
Doesn't do the job...
Heavy
Butt too small

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 even 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.
