Petzl Tam Tam Hammer
A simple little hammer good for backcountry use in your un-bolt kit. Built with synthetic materials, and thus not affected by water.
Petzl says: The Tam Tam hammer is designed for placement of bolt anchors with a hand drill. The hammer handle is fitted with a 13 mm wrench to fit standard 8 mm bolts.
Weight: 535 g

A high-quality test tube brush with stiff nylon bristles, for 3/8" and 1/2" holes. In soft rock, this brush is invaluable for cleaning up holes before inserting the bolt.
The FiddleStick is an advanced canyoneering anchor tool. It is a new approach to retrievable anchoring, opening up a wider range of possible anchors, and making it possible to descend more canyons and leave nothing behind (aka “ghosting”). As an ADVANCED anchor tool, it requires skill, practice and understanding to use safely. Even when used properly, it has the possibility of failing, resulting in severe injury or death, or being stranded in a canyon with your ropes hopelessly stuck.
I was selling both my FiddleStick and BluuGnome’s Smooth Operator, but now the Smoothie can only be ordered directly from Luke at BG-Gear.com
Both are generally used with an Amsteel pull string that pairs (threesomes?) with the SECO-050 rope bag.
Drill bits for doing the devil's work.
1/2” Bosch and 3/8” DeWalt SDS bits made for rotary hammer drills, which are used with the Petzl Rock Pecker for hand-drilling. They have the SDS attachment system, and a carbide hunk in the tip that makes them very durable. Working length is 4”; full length of the bit is 6”.
