[quote=MN3]Murray's sells these for a few bucks - they can be used in clever ways but they are really not needed imho [img]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/ldjuxrFp8CjlSE41u9yo9RJWxsNvu8Qnqetewp9DMnA7bwX8tP_o2QeyzOY92FBd8c1OKw7vt4LwAJHCwCZO5ym0uJemP_M3hDdn=s480?rw[/img] 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]
