Funny how it is always the blokes who come on whinging that they can't cut the ss spring properly then, isn't it? Must be their soft office hands...

Mine, of course, fit perfectly as I made them very well

Surely that's the point? Your Wozstraps fit you perfectly like a finely tailored Saville Row suit made from the best morino wool hand shorn by virgins. Where as the Beaver springs are mass produced in Taiwan by 8 years old forced to work in the dark, being whipped mercilessly by big fat oiled up blokes in leather loincloths so of course they'll fit about as well as a baggy shell suit bought off the market.

WozStraps mk2 coming to a PC screen near you in the near future. No more bloody fingers and honestly they won't be a bit of a rip of the V4Tec ones or anything. Well only a bit. Well ok they'll be similar but with a major difference.

The plastic tube will be black.

I think that the best thing about the Beavers is the load spreader.

Yep, v comfy

And the loop to stop me staring at my feet and hence getting seasick

Worst thing is the connection to the fins.

Woz's best thing is the custom fit..but only if you know what you are doing (used to be price, but Beaver's are now cheaper) and worst thing is the hose over the top being just too tight and hence all the spring extension comes in the "uncovered" section and is not spread through the spring.

But with a properly fitted magic bit 'o string you can't overstretch them.

Yes, on the Beavers, this puts a 'set' on the clip too
