Got my Flash Cuffs

[Mikey P]

Very sturdy.

Comes pre-greased which concerns me about if wear and tear will cause them to loosen up (hopefully) or get crudded up in the moving mechanism.


Do they offer all the reducers and adapters now?

That half ring moves in when the button is depressed

The Super Lube is on the O-Rings. You will WANT to rub some lube on them every 3 months or so. Do it at the same time your lubing your regulator. You do lube that right? As for it being stiff i am assuming they did that so over time as the spring is used over and over it doesn't become useless as it is broken in.

got mine the other day.....the things are so tight they don't want to swivel at all...hoping they loosen up a bit ....I like the tapered ends on them.....they don't snag things like step edges when you are rolling the hose back up.....
to early to say anything about the button release.....a bit stiff and one of them is pretty hard to get to release...I will play with them more and let you know...........

Lube the regulator? expain

 

[Clean Response]

Also what about 2.5 to 2 reducers

 

[John Olson]

Joey have you RTFM? (read the freaking' manual) you should lube you o-rings every 30-90 days. What machine do you have? I'll find the maintenance list for you as there are a lot of things you should be checking and lubing.

I don't think unloaders have that suppository to lube?? :shock: Not sure what TCS uses...

 

[John Olson]

Is your regulator a JE Adams? Big brass knob? I think that's what the use. There is a bullet in there that has o rings that needs to be lubed. I would suggest super lube but if you want to try KY that's between you and your regulator.

 

[Jim Martin]

John....get a hold of who ever made these things and ask them how the hell to loosen them up......the swivel needs to move a lot more freely then what these things do....spending way to much time un-doing the loops in my hoses......

 

[John Olson]

Will pass this along. I'm thinking the tongue and groove need to work in.

 

[Jim Martin]

Thanks.........

I promise you..popping apart will never happen.....even when you want them to..it is a challenge...they are just to tight.....not much room for forgiveness...
