ITW Grimloc, 4 pack Tan

Fit a little tight but it lashed my camelbak to the back of my kelty backpack.

These are the real deal. Lots of people complain that they squeak and even return them. Put one drop of any kind of oil in the joint and it will never squeak again. Ideally use a plastic lube like a PTFE spray.

I wanted to be very specific and clear in the title of this review. These grimlocs are genuine ITW Nexus Grimlocs, not Chinese knockoffs. Recently purchased a few grimlocs off of eBay (from China) and they were so weak I could easily pull them open with my fingers, which is why I thought I'd try these. Glad I did. Can't pull these open with my fingers. For virtually the same amount of money might as well get the real deal. Would absolutely purchase these again.

Clips were just as expected. But unfortunately 3 of the 4 clips make a loud squeak when opened fully. I am using these for hunting and can't take the chance of needing to open one when an animal is close to me. I exchanged the first pack but the second pack did the same thing. Bought the Maxpedition grimlocs and they work as expected and no squeaks.

Have a lot of these on different packs and other uses. Love the fact they can be secured on to MOLLE and similar size webbing. Great for securing smaller items. Strong enough to hold on to gear but designed to break open with the sort of force a body would place on it ensures you don't lose your gear or get caught in a potentially dangerous situation.

Use these for easy gear add-ons on my kit, especially if they are things I want to remove frequently. Definitely a weight limit, and watch out in cold weather. I had the OneTigris Commando water bottle holder and 32oz water bottle hanging from just one of these; first one broke during a trail ruck in near zero conditions. Needs 2 for that kind of load, sightly complicates set up. Otherwise, great for holding radio, sling retainer as a weapons catch, etc.

They function as intended. I use them to hold any gear with a D-ring when I'm not looking to be particularly quite in the woods.

these grimlocs fill a void in my gear mounting system. well constructed and i am sure they will hold more than they are rated for.
