This worked perfectly in repairing my ski boot bag buckle. I was going to buy a new boot bag. You saved me about 120 dollars. Thank you so much

This is *the* guide I was looking for. So many buckle-repair guides on youtube are basically: "okay so be a professional repairman with a stitching machine..." Managed to repair my backpack for around 1$. Cheers.

Dude , I literally had a lighter ,sewing kit , two buckles and a utility knife ready to perform surgery on my alice ruck. Thank you; .everything was as you said and cost me zero dollars . Totally a game changer.

Some years back I did add fast buckle system by using zip ties. It is a great idea because now if / when the buckle breaks you have a backup there by default. The newer buckles that are no sew are wonderful and it may be worth keeping an extra one of each size for your pack in the pack. No extra weight at all. Just found your channel and sub'd.

Wow excellent. Your video helped me replace a broken buckle from a free bag we received from a cruise. Got the donor buckle from a useless Fanny pack that luckily I hadn’t thrown away..Thank you!!

This is great! It would work on our Army's newer packs because they come with plastic buckles. Might need a grinder to do it on the ALICE buckles

Very cool! Thanks Tell. As good as the field replacement buckles are, this is much more cost effective, yet just as strong, and just as able to use on PALS/MOLLE grids too.

Thanks for the vid. The Duraflex snap buckles on my pro camera bags are heavier than the ones you show here. I've had to use a hack saw to get them off. The only thing that worked for me!

Old post i know. If i might suggest, clamp buckle to be cut firmly with a vise or similar mechanical advantage. Use electric die grinder with fiber disc of appropriate thickness, or thinner. Cut where you need ensuring conformity with strap thickness and width.

Thanks, OB. This is an upgrade for my medium Alice pack that I've been planning for a while, thinking I'd use the buckles sold on Amazon for this particular purpose. It so happened I had a couple 1-inch fastek buckle sets on hand, removed as unnecessary from my GI 3-day assault pack. A quick job with the wire cutters and needle nose pliers and my days of applying max thumb pressure to those crappy GI friction buckles is over. The buckles on the 3 pockets are not a problem since they are seldom adjusted and never completely unthreaded.

great hack. i was done in 10min (for both left & right straps). i was going to take a knife and a needle with thread, but you have convinced me. so i have taken my string cutter (i’m a bassist) and needlenose plier and have substituted sidestraps’ quick release buckles for shoulder buckles (i’ve broken sholder strap’s ladderlock buckle earlier this day).

The idea is sound but I have found an even better way with out sacrificing the original buckle just use paracord with the strap and quick release buckle it is stronger and it works just as well and you end up with an extra buckle just in case.

Another pro tip is to just buy split-bar or repair buckles, they slip on without any cutting necessary.

This is pretty cool, couple questions ; - would the cut be better if it's the middle? - is there a better 'Angle' to cut the bottom buckle? Would it matter if you're cutting it at a 90° angle? Or 45 is best?
@OshawaBushcraft2 жыл бұрын
Hi, you can cut it anyway you like. Offsetting the cut and making it on a diagonal makes inserting the strap easier. At the end of the day it's only going to be as strong as a plastic buckle. Good luck.

Do the cut closer to the centre it’s more difficult to get onto the loop but a lot stronger sort of like in the replacement kit

Yep look in the video at one version of repair buckle Has diagonal cut closer to centre I cut mine with side cutters too Distributes load up sides of buckle To me seems stronger but if it doesn’t break who cares which way it’s done

@MrTommybadger3 жыл бұрын
The jostling as you walk and the tugging as you tighten it is going to put abnormal stress on the loop you cut and it will eventually snap like a twig. If you’re committed to this method bring extra buckles.

Buy quality buckles, and new. I tend to retire mine after 5-10 years because they get brittle. I'd rather spend a bit more and not deal with them failing while on a weeklong trek. And just resew the straps, don't cut the buckle. This is all terrible advise.
@develentsai32153 ай бұрын
You should not destroy the old buckle, just cut the old buckles the same way as the new one and you can take it off for later use

If there's replacement buckles worth a shit then they should be designed with a removable pin instead of having to modify a new product.
