Hi there, Im a knot tying idiot and dont have any cave line anyway, I use these on my light and SPG and Primary hose, they work well, they do what they are supposed to do, I have no complaints.
buddhasummer, do you trust the manner in which they hold bolt snaps? Do they feel secure? Do you think the jostling that all dive equipment receives could potentially dislodge them?

How often (if ever) do your bolt snaps need to come off? Do you really want to risk a $4-12 bolt snap with something that could potentially get knocked off, just to save yourself a couple minutes of knot tying?
CompuDude, are you certain of the vulnerability of these clips to being knocked off? If so, I'll certainly steer clear of them. My interest in them is principally in regard to how quickly and easily they can be attached, allowing for rapid adjustments in location, as well as allowing for a limited number of bolt snaps to be shared among multiple regulator sets. Tying cave knots isn't a problem. I just thought that rapid attaching/detaching in the field, rather than cutting, tying, and melting knots, would be pretty cool.
