Even as a gear whore I reckon I'd be stretching it to say I need these... except maybe for the #5 & 6....

They are kinda cool though;)

The cams or the dinky little trigger attachments? The cams are fine, those trigger thingies look pointless though.

If it really bugs you on the bigger cams there's this device called a twig that you can put through the lobes to keep them retracted while racked. Jiggle the trigger and they fall out.

Unless these things are somehow supposed to make placing them faster?

Who currently owns the patent on the twig?

Wow that has so much potential for hilarious surprise clicks.

Driving out of Point Perp - you can just hear your backpack being pierced by exploding cams with every bump!

You raise a great point BUT, twigs don't appeal to my inner gear whore;)

I can loan you some 6" nails if you want to use them instead?

Mmmm, they're shinier/more appealing than a twig:)
