Can someone please post a few pix of the Dutch buckle in action for those of use at work (I’m on break of course) that can view the vids?

Had to wait out the weekend but . . . I'm in!

Glad to support Dutchware any way I can (and I get great little gadgets for doing so!!).

No, it's that when I ordered the webbing, i had never really liked how small the 1" slapstraps I used before because I could tell that they cut into some trees with softer wood, so I got the 1.5" just to be on the safe side as far as tree/bark health goes.

That's the best reason I can think of. There will be a 1.5" in the future.

Stretchy 1" nylon slapstraps will cut into wood... non-stretch 1" polyester webbing, not.

Thanks, Dutch!

Ditto that! -Yes, I am a slave to new, innovating things made by the bearded man.

Awesome! I ordered 2 sets as well, but I have to ask......why wasn't there a plug for the Dutch Clips in the commercial

Big Turtle doesn't own a set

You could use one, but the Dutch clip was really designed to be a disconnection point. With the buckle, you really have that disconnection. I would still use one for conveinence though.
