I found it a peice of cake. Handing off to an OC buddy, trying to make things difficult for me (at my request) by pulling on the hose before dis-connecting. Needed two hands for that. Otherwise, the Golem QD I use can disconnect with a single hand if I get a good grip on it .
Good, Glad it worked. Excellent for you to have done the test.
Two comments:
(1): You are in warm water and not wearing 7MM gloves? The small diameter couplings on the Golem and other "aftermarket" hoses (IE not Unisuit or Viking) are OK with bare hand or with thin glove. Not so good with the thick gloves for fast removal.
(2): VERY IMPORTANT: The Golem QD *looks* like a CEJN but is NOT INTERCHANGABLE. I do not know how they got this wrong (it's a sgtandard part sold by folks other than Golem, we just all *buy* from there, so want to give him the credit). It's "almost" the same but will not lock. This is why I use the Ocean Reef parts for the same work.
Jakub: If you read this, can you beg to M&J to change this poart to CEJN standard?
Best,
Dave
