How do the BM leafy crimps compare to crushers 15mm crimps?  Are the BM crimps harder? crushers 15mm crimps look like they have a nice bite/incut to them, whereas the BM leafy crimps look a bit more rounded on top.

Not really tried the Beastmakers in earnest - just a quick play whilst screwing them on.  A preliminary impression is that the Crushers are easier, a tad more incut and you can thumb-pinch the corners.  The contact surfaces of the Beastmakers are very curved, both along the top of the hold and in cross-section; they are too shallow to get your fingertips behind so I was reduced to full crimping the apex - just tips of fingers in contact.

My leafy crimps are much harder to use than the Crushers.
