When I started trad climbing I didn’t think there was that much difference between nut sets. So I just got the same brand as my cams.
Turns out there’s quite a few options and a growing number of specialty nuts. And sometimes the wiring can even be more complex than the nuts themselves. In the future we’ll dive more into nut construction but until then, we list all the nuts available on the market today.
Note: For a history of nuts, Stéphane Pennequin’s fabulous Nut Story essay, from the Nut Museum, is a must read along with More Nut Stories).

About Camerocks : they are sold by Simond (Chamonix – Les Houches and Simond is now a property from the Decathlon group)
You can have a picture here.
I use these for long years, and have replace some last year contacting Decathlon.
I prefer them because they are good to place, and offer the possibility to combine them by pair when you have to custom your stoppers into a particular crack… I use also WC or HB nuts and stoppers, but the Camerocks are lighter and more compliant to exceptionnal situations.
See them here :
