Tank cam strap assembled incorrectly at factory?

[Kronos13]

I just got a pair of cam bands that look similar to yours.
Just pop the plastic cam off of the u-hook and flip it over.
The cam I have has the threading instructions imbossed on the side. Maybe yours does too. Anyway, I took some pics of mine that might help.

In light of UP's statement (that beat me to the posting) I'm changing my vote.

There was a reason I didn't include that advice.

You could do it.... I could do it.... even o-ring could do it....

But a guy who can't see something so obvious is better off taking the thing back to the store.

LOL!!! Sorry about that UP. I didn't mean to interrupt your lesson.

I just looked at the orientation this morning, I didn't take the time to look at how it was assembled. After running back out saying "no s**t... really?", I proceeded to fall off my patio laughing.

The Halcyon SS buckles? Thats what I had..

...but now you have plastic.

This is the craziest thing I've seen in ages. If any one of us had this this thing in our hands it would be fixed in seconds, as is it will take days! Absolutely amazing.

I got similar cam buckles on my ST cam bands as well.
( i even have the picture on the side cos Im pretty slow to pick things up too)

BUT, I dont like them, Are the halcyon ones good?

I like the ones on the Scubapro Knighthawks but they look a bit "catchy"/"tangly"

Any thoughts Peeples.....??
