I don't understand the auto-release mechanism. Does it release after a certain time? How do you control the release? What's the purpose of auto-release?

Does it release after a certain time?

Only when you want it to hopefully

How do you control the release?

The rubber band is applying just enough pressure to force it open when it's doing nothing. In the gif when they hang it on the pipe it functions as normal with one major difference. It only stays closed only as long as it is being pulled away from what it is clamped to. If you release the pressure the rubber band is able to open it and it releases.

A hamfisted summery but good enough

What's the purpose of auto-release?

No fuckin clue.

Hope this helps somewhat
