Maybe they are, they work fairly well though... Although on mine the tines at the top are fixed and only the flap at the front moves. I suppose the next major issue will be self righting, but I'll deal with that later

The tynes on Flippant were as much about self righting as they were about holding so you can kill two birds with one stone.
Haz thats the the thing with Antweights as new trends come along you have to find either new or old ways to combat them.
