I'm keen to know whether they create drag. In the video on their website, Jason?? claims negligible drag (presumably when all 4 nuts are aligned with the direction of travel). www.konradboarding.com/product-page/click-nut-m8x35mm. It appears that they would create drag, or at least catch seaweed. I'd need some support for his statement before stumping up $130.
Check out the SUP foiling thread as there is a convo there on it. I have a set arriving end of next week and can let you know...
Thanks Chemtrails. I look forward to your thoughts. In the meantime I'll check the SUP blog.
The SUP blog respondents seemed well satisfied, so I've bought the 2nd hand ones offered on the blog. Keen to try them. It will save me carrying Allen key and risking losing it and glugging back to shore! Thanks again Chemtrails.

No worries - for SUP foil or parawing downwinders it looks great as you don't need to bring anything with you!

They work really well. Just make you get them done up tight. I now have a 3 of 4 set.
They are great and seem very good quality materials. I trust them 100% for prone foiling, but don't risk it for winging, as I mess less with the mast position and had one loosen once, due to higher speeds and jumping I reckon. Would probably be fine if you check tightness after a short while on water though, or if you don't jump.
Mine arrived today, enthusiastic thumbs up. Connect and disconnect is a breeze.
variable day with light wind patches inshore and a small wing and I could not tell they were there during water starting.
The most minor of first world problems is that the way I carry my board they dig into my shoulder.
Ive been using them for almost a year now. The quality is great and they as good as the day i got them. Nothing else on the market like them. Not having to use a tool to mount the foil to board is faster. Being able to adjust out the water with out a tool is even better. Being able to line them up is a bonus. Of all finger screws these would have the most minimal drag.

That's right, it happeneed to me. I lost one of then winging with jumps
So I lost one of these, which was entirely my fault - I popped the foil on loosely then got distracted and barrelled out for a session without tightening any of them. Two were completely off the foil, one had gone, last one was loosely holding the foil in place. Got lucky and didn't lose the whole rig...
Ordered a single replacement from Konrad (which they'll do on request), what was a bit amusing is that they also send me a quarter of a sticker when I ordered 1 out of 4

Classic - they would have been chuckling for days over that one.

hahahaaaa!!!These can come loose for one of two main reasons: 1. Improper alignment during installation If the Click Nut isn't pulled down straight when tightening, any flex during your first turn on the foil can cause it to loosen. Fix - Loosen the Click Nut by a 1/4 turn and gently wiggle the foil to help the T-nut sit flat in the track. Then, tighten slowly while making sure everything is being pulled down evenly. 2. Not tight enough
Don't be afraid to give it a solid tighten - these are designed to be secure. We've got a new T-nut system launching very soon. It reduces the chance of misalignment while tightening and allows for much smoother sliding when positioning the foil on the board. In addition, we'll be releasing three new sizes of Click Nuts in the next month to suit: Lift eFoil Flite eFoil AFS Foil If you'd like to stay up to date with our latest gear, be sure to sign up for our newsletter on our website.
