    That plastic cam lock is way easier to put on and take off than velcro and it lasts longer.

    It still amazes me the number of guys I see unloading a bulk tanker with no hearing protection. I know with our trucks and trailers, the blowers are very loud, and so is the trailer itself.

    Place I'm delivering at right now always had the velcro straps on their hose. Til today. Some AH driver stole them. They handed me a roll of paper masking tape. Now I've used duct tape and am ok with that, but not the paper crap. I pulled a couple velcro straps out of my stash and will leave them here.

    Our blowers are pretty loud, but they get crazy loud when the melt plug blows out.

    Thank you. I was just pricing them a bit earlier this morning and the shipping cost for four of them was about the same as the locks. I'll compare with the link you provided.

    I’ve used both the Velcro straps & I’ve got a bunch of the plastic locks. I personally prefer the Velcro, I just felt more secure using them.

    You’re not wrong. Velcro straps are more secure. But I’m lazy and I use clips.
