I can apply the exact amount of pressure so my pants or shorts don't fall off. Clicks are audible and I can make nano adjustments unlike classic straps. Delivered well, everything is crumpled on the outside but the contents are not scratched. I won't go back to regular straps anytime soon unless the ratcheting effect wears off over time. Only time will tell the longevity story so if I have to come in with an update I will be sure to post it in a hurry. Four stars βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ!
