Metolius took the same revolutionary (and wildly successful) shape of the Curve Nuts and applied it to these tiny titans. They chose silicon-bronze because it exhibits the perfect blend of hardness and shear strength. This, combined with Metolius' patented Curve Nut shape (modified with a slight transverse taper), gives you micro gear which is easy to visually monitor and sets up the bomber triangulation necessary for a solid placement.

Nuts with curved faces have long been the standard in passive protection. The curved faces provide 3 points of contact with the rock, which make the nuts more stable as well as more versatile than older, straight-sided nut designs. Metolius Astro Nuts further modify the revolutionary Metolius Curve Nut shape by adding a transverse taper. This makes the ultra-versatile Curve Nut shape even better in pin scars and flares.
