Thumb Loop Sleeve Will Break As Soon As You Use It

The thumb loop sleeve broke the first time I used the extended sling. Now the wire is exposed which will wear through the sling, so the cam is unusable. This was the result of a very minor catch on a cam that had been only used a few dozen times over a couple years. Every cam from another company I've owned lasted 10+ years, my Friend lasted less than 3.

great cost effective way to build a rack - love the extendable sling, really saves me on draws. if bd had as good a deal on here as wc i probably would have gone with ultralights for hand size and up, but the money savings are worth more than weight for me at this point.

Solid cams for trad climbing. The extendable feature of the sling is an incredible feature and quite useful.

Packaging Prison And Purgatory

Ok so far so good. But I came on here to leave a review specifically complain about the packaging. I got the 6 cam pack .4-3 and it is so hard to get them out of the packaging. I’ve destroyed two pairs of scissors. I’ve snagged thread on the #2. I’m terrified of cutting thro of he dyneema completely but the zip ties are practically fused with the dyneema. Truly feel like winning the hunger games or the triwizard tournament would be easier than getting these 6 cams out of the packaging. Wish me luck bc I came on to leave this review only halfway through. I have 3 more friends to free from the confines of this maximum security prison of plastic. Otherwise they look great and I’m looking forward to using them in the approximate 60-90 business days when I finally have the strength and courage and tools to remove these insanely thick zip ties.
