[quote=MN3]Murray's sells these for a few bucks - they can be used in clever ways but they are really not needed imho

they are about as painful as a lego to stand on, and pretty uncomfortable to sit on, and will knock you over if you get your knee on one during a duck and tack ...
also when used a part of a downhaul system they will explode/implode with enough force - i had one explode on me under load and i smelled it and saw "smoke" (was probably plastic dust) and was waiting for my mast to come down - i had no idea what the hell just went "bang" - after a few minutes i realized it was just my downhaul and laughed
They are not needed if you can tie (and later untie) a knot - save your money and learn a few knots - ymmv[/quote]
