Cams sizes in correlation to BD nuts

I have 2 full black diamond nut sets and black diamond c4 .4 as my smallest cam I seem to place a hell of a lot of #8-10 nuts on most of the routes we climb I was just wondering what cam size or kind of cam can be used fit cracks about that size. All n all I'm sick of falling on em and having to take the time to get em out. I know stop falling right! Lol... I don't really have climbing shop all the nearby where I can drive to and figure it out myself. I also really love the thumb loop on the c4s and would like all my cams to have them. Thanks for the help

Yeah I was gunna order one just to have it but I really would like one to for sure fit a number 9, maybe it's what I need I guess we will see lol

bd posts sizes for their nuts as well, you could look

Are there parallel sections of these cracks that would actually take a cam? Not to state the obvious, but cams and nuts are kind of made to fit the opposite thing...

I'd go for X4s at that range, or maybe check out the Totem Basics (sounds like you need a green).

I get what your saying Ted. But i get when and where I could place a cam lol and where I need a nut it's just when they get in there they get in there lol and there's nothing easier than getting a cam out as opposed to ole nut tool and patience. Just trying to speed things up a bit for me and whoever I have following. But still looking for a sizing chart I do have somewhat of an idea looking at my cam and nuts. Thanks again guys

sure, nothing better to do at the moment. Interesting that there's a somewhat strong correlation.

Awesome thanks ! I did find this which wasn't exactly what I was looking for but super interesting! summitpost.org/size-matters…

For cragging ... Carry a small framing hammer (or wall hammer)

Cant tell you how may times weve used it to get whipped on nuts out

My partner even used it to clean a stuck cam the other day

;)

Yeah i was gunna invest in a small hammer, I have used palm sized rocks lol shits just annoying. Really thanks for everything and Gavin thanks for the time to pull out some gear! It's guys like you that make MP!

I would rather whip on a $4 bolt than a $10 nut or a $60 cam.. But the 82.95 cam trumps all.

If given the option I'd whip on this
