pob Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I am starting to think that a handful of large crocodile type clips would be really handy for securing my cammo net. Something like the clips on a car battery charger. The more black plastic and the less bare metal, the better. I think I might have seen something larger used by market stalls. Does anyone know where I might source half a dozen easily? Even a better description than "crocodile type clips" would really help me, then I can Google it.

MK38 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 As Warlock said, B&Q... you get a plastic tub with 22 mini spring clamps in it. ... various sizes, they are brightly coloured so will need a quick blast of matt black spray. Can't remember the price , but i don't think it was much. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mec 9000 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 If it's hide poles you use the diameter is usualy smaller than the diameter of a cartridge case, I pull the net over the pole and push on a spent case, fits perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 I know its obvious, but make sure the clips tightly fit your hide poles. Some I have seen in B&Q, Homebase, etc., are too big, even when closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
