Add me to the "confused why you need a screwdriver" list...

Jack,

My buddy picked up a pair of these for her Fusion drysuit as well. I helped by letting her know which rings to use for the suit but she put them together. On the boat for her first dive using them - she didn't realize they shipped without the o-rings installed!! Mine came with the o-rings in the locks already so I didn't even think to mention that to her. The gloves didn't stay on well at all so we had to make a quick trip back onto the boat so she could take the liners out and used the wrist seals as intended - to keep her dry! Her hands were quite chilly after 40 minutes in 42 degree Lake Michigan water!!

So - make sure you check when you get these that the o-ring is installed in the wrist lock!!

ok, I'm biting, Why should I carry a screwdriver?

I've been using the si tech glove lock ring system and have had absolutely no issues with them whatsoever that weren't 100% user error.* They pop on and off in about a second with little if any effort.

*(that error would be me not checking the o ring for lint before jumping into 46* water and descending to 75' )
