Item Description
2lb Pinch Dive Weights
Why are pinch weights so popular?
Because the weight belt remains the same length no matter how many weights are on the belt.
- Notice how the belt passes straight through the pinch weight instead of “weaving through, around and through again” on traditional weights.
- Works on any rubber freedive belt.
Weights do not slide around:
- To install the weights, you pull and stretch the rubber weight belt before sliding on the weight.
- When the tension on the belt is released, it expands back to its original width and the weight “pinches” the belt, keeping the weights firmly in place.
MAKO FREE REPLACEMENT/SAFETY POLICY
To our valued customers: MAKO Spearguns recognizes that diving (both freediving and SCUBA) are potentially dangerous activities. We have all heard of tragic accidents where a diver is found on the bottom while still wearing a weight belt. We hope and pray that should any of our customers find themselves in a situation where ditching a belt may be necessary, that there is no delay and the belt is dropped immediately.
In many situations a belt is recoverable; however, if your MAKO belt and lead weights or belt reel are ditched (and lost) in a diving emergency… MAKO will replace it free of charge.
The last thing we want is our customers considering the cost of a lost belt in an emergency. We only ask that the individual shares with us (and our friends and customers) a write-up about how the situation developed and was resolved. That way, we can all learn and be reminded to keep safety in the forefront of our minds.
Dive safe,

Weight Belt remains the same length:
These pinch weights are perfect for rapid deployment.
The easy on, easy off design allows you to add and remove weight in seconds to account for changing conditions.
And because the belt passes straight through the weights (instead of weaving around them), the length never changes no matter how many weights you add or remove.
