nut tool 

The long metal tool a follower has to use to free their leader’s nuts when they get stuck in a crack. It should be thin (to account for even the smallest nuts), and ideally have a leash so you don’t drop it. It should also have a hook on the working end. On the handle end a flat spot is nice so when you have to hit it hard to remove their nuts, you don’t hurt your hand.

A person with a rack should absolutely own a nut tool.

Also called a pro key. An important part of your traditional rock climbing toolkit.
