The attachment of a clip or accessory to a scuba hose can cause damage. Often, too much pressure is exerted on the hose surface, damaging the outer and/or inner layers reducing the hose strength. Damage to the inner layer can cause a break-down of material and potential reduced flow of gas. The use of any method other than the Hose Hook for attachment of clips/accessories will void the warranty of all Miflex and XS Scuba hoses.

Well that's just silly......

WTH? Talk about useless garbage that is completely unnecessary. This method has worked very well for me (and many, many others) for years! Cheap, easy, durable, removable.

XS Scuba Hose Hook

how are you gonna cut that loose with a "DIR knife" if it gets entangled? one has to carry a proper screwdriver in the thigh pocket all the time? how long its gonna take compared to cutting a caveline knot?

caveline is a much better method to tie bolt snaps to hoses.... that "hose hook" maybe goes to the same category than the SPG's with additional side hole to screw on a boltsnap directly to the spg so that it cant be cut loose in any case, so much safer and easier for sure

if one is so concerned about attaching boltsnaps directly to the hoses maybe one could just put some inner tire rubber piece around the hose before attaching the snap with the caveline?
that would do exactly the same thing than that Hose Hook but would be easier and cheaper and look much nicer also

I’ve had bad luck with cave line. Never can get it tight enough to not slip. I use the Dive Rite hose retainers for the bolt snap on my long hose. For everything else (SPG, lights, etc.), I use thin bungee, which has worked very well.

Doesn't matter if you have a "DIR knife" or a 2-handed sword, there's no way to cut that one

Jim...

This also works very well...and can be easily removed and switched...DGX....I usually have 6/8 included when I place a larger order...

Bungee holds nice and tight without pinching...

Best...

by my limited experience, tight bungee damages the hose surface pretty easily. though its not gonna explode due that...

caveline slipping on normal rubber hoses?

just carry large size bolt cutters in your pocket, should get the job done easily
