This listing is for a set of 50 EZ Clip buttons and 50 Ghostlocks
The EZ Clip push button for collapsible and coil-down hula hoops, a new innovation in hoop-making!
Lighter to the touch, easy on the fingers, our custom manufactured parts are designed to make breaking down your hoop easier than ever. This two-part spring clip is made of galvanized music wire (that's the metal spring part) and our own nylon round-top push-button head. With less resistance in deals the spring, and a lower profile on the hoop, these EZ clip buttons will revolutionize the way you make your hoops.
Can be used on both 3/4 and 5/8 hoop tubing, polypro or HDPE.
The Ghostlock (formerly known as the #Ghostrivet) is superior to the metal rivet, utilizing a nylon bolt that pierces through 4 layers of polypro resulting in the most secure fastening method yet.
Introducing the #Ghostlock - It's a 1" nylon bolt that goes right through both sides of the tubing, locking the internal tube in place (with two points of contact). One of the results is that any twisting stresses that could occur through use are greatly reduced.
This new method is different in how it works from a rivet, so different that we cannot really call this a rivet any more. Rather than having a head protruding attaching one tube wall to another, this method results in no protrusions, locking the tubes together internally. As a result, we are not calling it a rivet, but instead we have named it our #Ghostlock.
Besides making the core longer, we changed the head to a slot screw style - once again making the installation easier, only requiring a common screwdriver as opposed to a specialized tool. Installation is finalized by removing the head and tail of the #Ghostlock, eliminating all outer evidence other than the dot of the core.
Customer testimonial:
"The nylon buttons and the EZ clip are a lot easier to push than the regular metal ones. Dave had me try my set of twins, one with the old style connectors, and one with the EZ clip (even before they got the nylon head), and it was way easier, I had him convert the other one over, too. Now I have nylon buttons with the EZ clip n them, and it's fantastic. Still pretty strong and sturdy, too (I'm a monster who fully collapses and connects her hoops for travel on the bus, so strength is important!)" - Sarah Smith
The two piece “EZClip” consists of a galvanized music wire spring and a white nylon button head. For installation, we use a 3/32” bit for pilot holes and then 3/16” bit for the button holes. The inner tube hole needs to be trimmed until the button head falls through the hole (when inserted upside down). The outer tube hole only needs to be trimmed a touch (until the head grabs the hole when inserted).
