BD says that #1&2 are only for aid, but damn, I find great placements for them all the time. I dont run it out when i am above them, but I've taken small falls on the #2 and the wire held just fine, no frays or any problems. I will keep using them on lead and wont think twice about it.

#13 is about the size of a golf ball (not as thick though) and #2 will not catch much of a fall, even in a bomber placement. It's intended just for aiding.
