Is it Highland that has the delrin ones with "notches" cut in them for grip? I like the idea of those....

I see a lot of wing nuts that is metal on metal. I like those due to thick gloves. Also, I think it was @nwgratefuldiver who had delrins wear out during a dive. That must not have been fun to suddenly have your twinset on your back.aside from being much cheaper than the OMS ones, the advantage of the delrin ones is that thread galling isn't liable to happen since there is no metal-metal contact. Downside is you don't have great finger grip on them if you're doing it in gloves when you need to snug/unsnug them, but that's not really an issue for most people

I don't think the wear of the threads is that much of an issue. If it is, I'd just include that in my periodic maintenance.
