Tying on clips

[dutybooty]

Hey,
I've had a mong moment and completely forgotten how to tie piston clips onto hoses so they fit on hoses.

Looking at the ones I've already tied I can't figure out how to tie them or even how to undo them!!!

Please guy's, you're my last hope.

Gotta go, I'm on duty.

Well, I know this one is in Swedish, but you could probably go with the images alone...

Ahh thank you very much. Exactly what I was looking for.

Thats how I was doing it, just with a lot more turns around the hose.

Anyway, gotta go, I'm on duty!

Thanks for the links guys

I do the same (lighter melt) but with cable ties

Any advantage to using line (other than availability)?

Well, I started off using cable ties, but in England it's very cold. They get brittle and break.

Its happened a few times to me on normal English dives, but more so on ice dives and the like.

Gotta go, I'm on duty.

Thats actually quite nice. Now I appreciate the effort, but it seems to me that I could make one of those out of an old zip pull!!!

But, just for putting the effort in, I bought a dive-rite cam band from my LDS

But anyway, I'm on duty.

Zip ties have a tendency to break if they are twisted, and cave line doesn't.
