The descriptive text says “the hardware alone weighs just 6 grams for the pair” but the listed weight is “0.5 oz / 15grm.” Could you clarify which is correct?
Thanks!

The actual weight is 10.9 grams. I have edited the description. The weigh listed at the bottom is the shipped weight with packaging.

Awesome
I’ve used this new kind of cinch buckles 3 times already. Let me tell you, this is awesome!
Super fast and easy.
I have my hammock with continuous loop and I connect it directly to my suspension.
It’s like using a whoopie hook but with straps! Perfect for me and for everyone who prefers straps instead of Whoopie slings.

I Just bought this because the Beatles were out of stock. I’ve read “bridge” and thoug the hole were to put the spread bar… I should had read the discussion before… So I’d like to suggest add this information on the Description. Also, It has corners too Sharp for the amsteel, less than 1h hang the amsteel showed detrition, not smoothed corners like some Double hooks, I will fix that with a file.

We do not recommend using kevlar with the cinch bugs however they do work well with polyester and dyneema/polypro webbing.

seat belt webbing is to wide for a cinch buckle as it will only hold 1″ webbing.

The hole in the Cinch Bugs does not work with a spreader bar, but the Beetle Buckle does. Have a look at the product pages and videos on these pages for more information:
