It baffles me how one could really use them though. For I cannot imagine building a boat without ever having to undo and losen a stitch joint, or fourty.

The automotive type have fine adjustment, but to release one is quite the chore, especially compared to simply untwisting a wire. The bread bag type is far to coarse in its adjustment to be usefull at all.

I just don't get it.
