One-handed cord grips

Post by ChrisS »

Hi all, first time poster here :smile:

I've just adapted my Alpkit Stem Cells for one-handed operation using a simple zip tie through the cord grip, but looking to improve on the design.

Found these cord grips, which look good, but the minimum batch is more than 100 and I only need two...

http://www.acesupplies.co.uk/acatalog/C ... -3633.html

Anyone found a source for these where I could buy smaller batches? Or is anyone interested in a few if a get a big batch?

I like the look of those. I had to google them to see how they work though as the manufacturers picture isn't very clear. If you have to buy a batch you can out me down for 10.

Is the minimum batch/order 100? You can adjust the number in the box downward and I can't see any text saying there's a minimum.

I thought that too - but when you checkout the minimum order is £15.

I can’t work out how they work one handed from the picture.

But they sound good...

Pull the orange cord to open and the black cord to close. Pretty neat.

I'll join in, er I'll take 10 (or say up to 20 if you need to make up the numbers). I'm sure I can make use of them.

Funnily enough, I found this site last week and received the order yesterday... Two cordlocs in a big box sent from Germany!
