For me this is a critical design failure, but depending on your intended usage it might not matter to you that much.

Hmmm... Technically for what I purchased these for I should have them setup and in place before any load at all is put on the line. However I could see needing to release one off a line that is under very high loads. The block itself wouldn't be loaded up but the line it's on would be. Time to take them out and play with them.

Thanks for the heads up. I will let you know how it works for me.
