Does anyone know what the difference is between the Takumi hooks and Armour hooks (if any)?
359803
They're completely different grips. The Takumis are more rigid & flat. The Armours are round & squishy. It depends what you prefer. I like both & I have both sets that I use interchangeably. If you want to know how each feels, if you go to Hobby Lobby or JoAnn's, you can hold them in your hand and see what feels better to you. They do sell individual hooks, but the sets on Amazon are a better value.

No, it is the exact same hook holder! I noticed that there are lower prices attached to it now on Amazon.

I believe the "Armor" moniker is used for the heavier gauge metal used on the upper end Zippos. I'm pretty sure that the finish between the standard and armor models is the same. I've only got the armor models so all the above is just speculation on my part but in reviewing the previous answers just not, it seems a sound enough supposition.

The same as the non-swivel hooks. They are all simply slid into place from above and gravity keeps them in place. The tops of each hook is larger than the spacer-controlled gap between the two wood bars. All the hooks just slip between the bars from the top. The hooks extend below the bars, there is a flat part that goes between the bars, and above the bars is each hook's round top, much larger than the gap, that keeps the hook from passing through and falling out. Simplicity itself. The hooks are completely moveable along the length of the bars and you can put the swivel hooks anywhere you want. A picture is worth a thousand words, so I hope this written description is comprehensible! The same as the non-swivel hooks.

Whoops, sorry, my rack has the old straight pins and not the J hooks. Sorry.

I think the product is inconsistent, i.e. the seller is probably a distributor who sources from different parties. The first order I received the hooks had a nice soft plastic coating on them so I placed a second order. The second order they were coated with a very hard thin plastic - couldn't even tell they were coated but if you take a razor blade you can peel it off.

Denise, Not a stupid question. Sometimes they do not specify. 2 hooks and the install is easy.

There appears to be no difference. The tactical one was more expensive at the time that I bought mine that's why I didn't get it. Get it before the price goes back up.

What type is it? The default fit is for hooks but it comes with an adapter.

Dunno - I bought the brown one which has darker brown (painted?) metal hooks ... love it, though

The hooks are just simple hooks that hang on the rack with no clip/locking mechanism. There is a smaller hook on a bungee/elastic cord that attaches to the lower part of the rack and the tension from that keeps the bag in place. So, no quick release mechanism but quicker and easier to remove than the panniers I have with quick release.

That is what the package they came in stated. I can tell you I purchased two different sets. The other set I purchased did not have the two hooks. This set is way heavier and far better quality than the other set I purchased. I have had mine less than a month so I really can't address whether they rust, but I can't imagine that it would be a problem for some time. Hope that helps.

It uses Pivot type razor blades (when attached they are made to pivot) Not sure about 2 hooks but I believe so.

The other end has a flat style hook just like the one in the picture. Flat hooks go around the fork tube easier, which is the way I normally secure my bike. No need to cut the strap, Rachet allows you to get all the slack out before tighting. Best system around for the money.

The hooks are made of a very rugged, quality plastic material. The buckles are metal. This is a very good bag. So good that after I used mine for a while, I ordered another one. You will not be disappointed, for I highly recommend this item. Thanks for your question. Tony

The Woss I belive is a lighter model . The military model the hooks are a bit heavier and a little more basic. Both are as good as the other for training. They are both very well made and can withstand alot of weight .
