Would like to buy two pairs of these yakgrips but want to make sure that they are the model 200-read reviews that these are better. Please advise.

Allison, these are great grips IF you have pull apart paddles - they are not the velcro ones that can go on a 1 piece paddle.

I am happy I have them and if you are paddling for a long time I never get blisters.

Hi. I don't know what model number they were, but they were the Yakgrips that were completely seamed together (without velcro) and not able to be adjusted. Though I have both, I do like these better, as they situate themselves much better without requiring constant readjustments. In doing this, you lose the ability to put them on paddles that do not break down into 2 or more pieces, as their ability to stretch open is the only way you can put them on the paddles. With one of my paddles, I had to have the velcro model in order to be able to put them on in the first place. Some of the new infinite adjustment paddles offer similar problems, as their design places the adjuster/lock at the end of one of the pieces, with their diameter being quite a bit larger than the shaft itself, so there is extra work and effort required to work the grips over the enlarged attachments. I like both a lot, and the comfort factor is a great improvement to long distance/time paddling. The only issue I see is that if you have issues with inconsistent patterns in the way things feel, this might be a problem as the seams stretch the length of the grips and are very noticeable in the feel of your hands. I always need to make sure the seams are in the right position to offer the least obvious inconsistency/bump in the pad. This is true with both the fixed seam models, as well as, the velcro ones, though the velcro ones are even more pronounced.

The yakgrips I have on my paddle are good ones. Not sure if they are model 200 or not. I would buy these again. In fact I have three pairs for my wife, myself and a friend to use when we kayak on the Willamette River in Oregon.

They are model 100, I have really been impressed with them so far. Used for a couple of 3-4 hour paddles and thy have helped immensely.

I didn't know there were two (or more) model's. Still I'm happy with the model I received, which is #100.

Specs are the same. I'm thinking a product naming change, but not sure. The grind, hook and kerf are the same.

I could not find model# but, I have the original Magic Bullit and they do fit. My replacements would work for a few times then the rubber would burn off of the blade attatchment. Good Luck , maybe my motor is going bad.

I replace a pair of knobby 29 x 2.2's with the 28 x 2.0 and they have worked great for me. Much less rolling resistance.

I doubt it, they seem to be Chinese copies of a great American product. As for mine they've been great and have been for a long time and very inexpensive compared to American sold ones being still being made over seas and only being QAed by the American companies. At the price you are getting them for I'd by another pair and still be well under the costs of companies here. This being said I've gotten some that have sucked and these ones to my experience haven't.

Double check what you are ordering. I wanted the ER6I-15SM and received the ER6i-18's instead. My fault because I didn't catch it but when you do a search on Amazon, for the 15SM model, the -18's are the ones that actually come back in the search vs actually saying the -15SM are not available but would you like to try the --18's.

I think Amazon.com might have these messed up on they are missing some versions because Flyjumper lists 6 models as far as weights go for adults and they are listed by model numbers not large medium etc. They are called PowerStrider (which is what I am ordering elsewhere) and look like the images. Now they have 4 models for kids but they don't look like what amazon shows. I'm not sure I would trust getting the right item, could always return though I guess. Might contact them for further verification on this.And ignore the review left recently, that person obviously doesn't know what he is doing with them and/or obviously isn't even telling the truth.

I don't think they're too different, aside from weight limits. Although it's been years since I bounced on one. Hope that helps.

I'm thinking one is newer than the other and the size is the same??? I have the Diablo Edge irons and they will not fall off. Plenty snug and they look great.

Its been awhile since i bought mine, but I remember that there were two that were very much alike. the only difference I could find is that one was a little more "tailored" with nicer lines on the handles and a nice scoop in the lid below the handle so your hand could fit into the handle better. A bit more refined, which is why I chose it. Look closely and you will see. Again, I am going by memory, and not by the model name.

There now seem to be at least two different-looking versions of this tool with the same model number available online (both Amazon and elsewhere) and ranging in price from $50 to over $100. For example the video on the Amazon page does the demo with a different tool (about $50) than the one shown above for $100. Which version is the newest most "upgraded" version, and which ones have been sitting in a warehouse? For $100 and claimed to be "upgraded" and engraved, I expect an accurate one first try, no returns or return postage or delays - or I might as well just buy the plastic version.

Well, you lucked out. The Ice Trekkers (diamond grip) are MUCH more durable than YakTrax. For really steep icy conditions, I use my Khatoolahs, but that's maybe 5% of the time.

I just contacted Carl Manufacturing. They told me it's the same as RT-200. Their customer service is pretty good!

The 250 model is not the same company as the older Model 200. This website has parts for the older 200 model: http://www.mendingshed.com/200parts.html

Check the company's website and call to verify the model number. I found them to be very helpful. Great piece of gear!

I have ordered several sets of these props as replacements for the originals that came with the Quadcopter. They appear, for all intents and purposes, to be identical to the originals. I could see no difference in size, weight, quality of manufacturing or function. I cannot verify with 100% certainty that these are not "after-market", but they are a 100% suitable replacement for the originals. As for the self-tightening inquiry: I'm not aware of any of these being self-tightening. Each is flat-keyed so that they do not rotate on the hub once installed. Each is also stamped with an arrow indicating intended direction of rotation, which is critical to the proper operation of the aircraft. Hope this helps.

Which new ones are you referring to? I have the gripper ones and they're pretty good, they do provide extra grip but if you don't get them loose enough, they start to dig into the webbing between your thumb and palm. But then if you don't get them tight enough, they could fall off. They're pretty good but I can only speak for the gripper ones
