So Far, So Good

This was intended to be the start of my trad rack, so far they're very promising, seemingly fitting where other pieces won't.

Spent a weekend at Lover's Leap trying to protect everything with WC Super Light Offset Rocks and reaching for cams only when #10 is too small.
First, they work. Took half a dozen or so (intentional) lead falls on them. No surprise, they hold.
Second, #5 and #6 are of slightly different shape compared to Ultralight Rocks (with a single wire cable) #5 and #6. Offset Rocks are slightly asymmetrical.
Third, in slightly flaring cracks Offset Rocks in taper orientation work much better then "normal" Rocks due to narrower profile. Everything comes for its price - placing Offset Rocks in taper orientation sometimes (in parallel sided cracks) require a bit more attention.
Fourth. They are really light. Ultralight Rocks + Super Light Offset Rock combined is a great ultralight set from seams to wide fingers (with natural doubles in the most useful sizes).
Did not find that much good "offset" placements.
pellAre you getting these back in stock sometime soon?

A short August 19, 2015 update on the review.
I've been using these nuts for a while and would say they are really good. Light is right. Just don't expect them to be as good as DMM Alloy Offset in pin scars. It is better to think of them as "lighter version of Rocks + sometimes they work as offset nuts."
WC Super Light Rock set + WC Super Light Offset Rock set makes a great ultra light nuts set for alpine/long routes.
