I like the look of these. How easy are they to separate? Is it possible to lose something like a SAK if it was swinging about or do they need a really good pull?

 

[g4ghb]

They need a really good pull mate! - in fact you have to depress the 'plunger' to separate the pieces, it is not simply a friction connection. Inside are 3? (don't have one with me at work to confirm) little ball bearings that fit in a groove. The more you pull it appart the tighter they force into the groove. When you depress the plunger it allows the balls to retract into the housing enabling the unit to separate.

I have just re-read that twice and I'm still not sure it makes sense but can't think of a better way to describe it!

 

[sparkplug]

I can second Graham's confusing explanation and would simplyfy it thus:

Q. How easy are they to separate?
A. On purpose - very easy, by accident - almost impossible.

Q. Is it possible to lose something like a SAK if it was swinging about?
A. I'd say no. I guess you could take a 500g weight on one end and swing it around with no trouble at all. Very secure.

I'd put my SAK on it without hesitation.

No, that's cool. I knew about the ball-bearings but imagined pulling them apart just forced them into their housings, like a cupboard door clip.

I think the GB here is from OneStopLocks, where I get lobster clips and splits. They also do a handy solid steel ring, perfect for threading these clips onto. I have 10 of these, 9 are spare. Free to anyone who wants them, one per person depending on demand.

I'll buy a couple of clips I think, saves complication, and see what I think. Good luck with the GB.

I'm curious about what you mean Nice65.. don't suppose you have a pic of the steel ring you mention?

I trsut it with my TK6!
Don't you remember seeing my Falkniven TK6 in kydex sheath + firesteel dangling on one of those at Horizons?
it works!
It would take huge force to brutalise it to the point it would separate-

 

[mayfly]

I'd like 10 please. Chris

 

[g4ghb]

your on the list Chris!

I've got a pic for you but I don't want to post it here. I don't have selling priviledges so I will post a freebie. Basically a welded steel ring 1.2" outside diameter. I hook mini prybar, Spydie Bug, Gerber Clutch etc on it. There are 9 and they're free.
