What’s up with those Amazon kits of PALS/MOLLE attachments - Bootsteady review.

hey y'all today i'm here to discuss this this bag of a variety of different pals molly loop attachments that i got from bootsteady bootsteady sold this particular kit it's got three different items in it though i do believe that at least these two have their initial manufacturer with company called itw i think itw sells to the public but more they they're a wholesaler that sells to uh resellers that put together kits like this they have some other itw has some other products they they make but uh this particular kit does feature their two most common ones this one is the the grimlock this one is the the web commander web dominator that's the web dominator this is a little clip so i'll go ahead and demonstrate some of these devices and how they work then we'll discuss the the overall set which is available on amazon i'll go ahead and put that affiliate link down in the description the first thing i think we'll discuss though uh probably the most common well-known device that they have is the grimlock it's um it's all plastics sort of like a carabiner but not quite has elements of just being a d-ring but it's overall useful in a number of different ways the main thing to note though is that in this this main shaft component that has the button to depress to to lock and unlock and that unlocking and re-locking are both uh you both have to press the button and pull on the latch at the same time so it's pretty secure but in this spine here is a little spot for a piece of webbing say from a strap or a pals loop to slip into so we're gonna pan down here look at this this strap and we can see how you you might slide this on so there's the little notch in there slide that in and we can come back and get the other side in it's not easy to get in so that it's not easy to get out they do hold rather well so you can see that's now in there and this provides a way to latch things onto webbing i've used it to attach my tool roll bag to this this rifle bag and in fact i now keep a pair of these on the tool roll bag so that i can clip it to the the rifle bag or any other bag i want go ahead and bring this over here so you can see how i have these there and whenever i need to bring this somewhere with me it's usually going with the rifle i can pop these open and just hook it to the rifle bag and then it's ready to go let's go ahead and move that out of the way i guess the next thing we'll talk about is the the web dominator this has two methods of use the first one we'll discuss is strap retention so many of the time many many times you'll have a strap of this variety but you'll have pulled it tight and you'll have your excess there and this can be used by looping through on this side looping through on this side of the web dominator getting it nice and secure and then you begin to roll once you've rolled it to the point that you want pull your shot cord tight and then pop it into these retainers i guess i if i'm going this way i need to pull it this way sorry about that so there's that extra strap retained you do have this extra shot cord to deal with i guess that is one one one important thing to note if you buy this from itw the the shot cord either doesn't come with it or it comes with it just in a roll and you need to install it yourself these these came pre-shot corded i suppose and maybe there's a little bit of money to save to be saved by doing it yourself uh if you'll pause for one second i'm gonna grab something and we'll discuss the second use of this so please stand by i'll be right back all right so we're going to return here to discuss the second use of this the web dominator clip and that's for retaining something to a strap maybe this is a strap on the shoulder strap of your uh some webbing on the shoulder strap of your pack or maybe it's just a a piece of pals webbing uh but say you want to retain something to it this has a clip but the clip would put it in this direction so you want to retain it in this direction i've seen these this used also a temporary holster for tourniquets a lot of different things that can be used this way so you'll put that in place and then you'll again pull the shot cord tight and pop it in to there and now this is retained it's not the perfect retention and and if you wanted to get even better with something with a clip you could clip this to the shot cord so this is is one option uh for usage of the the web dominator though its intended primary option uh was to retain excess straps hanging down so that's that the next thing we'll look at will be this clip here on my ember pouch you can see i've attached one of the strap management tool buckles uh this is how you would attach to a main piece of gear so you had something like this uh this bungee strap you needed to secure it didn't have any other way you can pass that through there clip that down now this is secured this is just a stand-in for what could be any of various mounting systems but uh it's a it could also be used to attach single rows of pals loops to as a female to female connection though it would be tricky to do two rows so if you needed to put another here you would be interfering with this and once you had it latched down it wouldn't it would be difficult to latch the next row down but a good way to just put a simple latch to attach things when you happen to have pals leaves on something all these items again once again i'll i'll go ahead and put a link down below in the description it'll be an affiliate link to where you can buy all of these goodies it's it's like eight
