Short review: best $11 I ever spent on MOLLE crap.
Lots of vendors still use the strap + snap system for attaching MOLLE pouches. Unless you have telekinetic powers, you've probably experienced the nuisance of having the edge of the snap catch the edge of a strap and hang things up. Trying to bend the strap through the first couple slots is sometimes no picnic either.
The Speed Threader goes through the webbing backwards, from the bottom up. Since you aren't pulling on the pouch, it's easier to weave it than to shove the strap around. When it's all the way though, you put the snap of the pouch's strap into a groove in the end and just yank that sucker back through. Assuming the dimensions of the webbing are correct on both sides, it takes about thirty seconds to attach a pouch. When the dimensions aren't correct, the Speed Threader can also be used to stretch the webbing a bit.
Given the low price, highly recommended for anyone with lots of snap pouches. Of course if you're using MALICE clips or Paraclete folders, this thing is nearly useless.
