Integrated Bolt Snap on SPG? + Highland vs Hog (the Same?)

If you've got 1,000yrs worth of gas...

More like 22 minutes on a single 80… assuming it happens at the start of your dive. See Life Ending Seconds, 3000 to Zero in 72 Seconds

Forgot your reading comprehension glasses?

:d

We were referring to how long it would take a piece of cave line tied around a miflex hose to cut through it.

I use the lightest bungee cord on my Hog SPG. I really hate the idea of a precise instrument bouncing around on a boat deck and elsewhere so I put it in a boot.

I prefer the bungee to cave line because of the stretch and it still fits the "cut in an emergency" line, connected to a good bolt-snap, criteria.

I hadn't thought of that. I guess that would explain this

This bolt snap and guard are being advertised as the ONLY approved process for attaching to braided hoses if you want to maintain your warranty. The wording even goes to say cave line attachment will prematurely wear braided hoses voiding their warranty.

I can not give any comments on milflex hoses as I have not used them. However, I do not attach any cave line to the hose, I attach it to the swage. Now if that has the potential to void the warranty on any hose I would have cause for concern.

Aw dammit. I thought I was in the immortal, #nevergoingtodie club. Crap.

They are not that precise, or that delicate. I can't imagine a rubber boot making much difference if there is enough force applied to damage the gauge. The unprotected glass face would likely break first..... even if if it was protected.

Have you spent much time on job sites? Construction? Precision shooting? Hunting? Photography?

I've done all of the above. If it has a glass lens a little bit of cushion can make a huge difference.

Yes and you see lots of functioning gauges with cracked, shattered, or missing glass faces. I've only seen 1 oil pressure gauge with an intact glass face malfunction after 40 years of use, but that was only at the connection point and it is now fixed and going strong (in my car).
