The 35mm Film Bulk Load Kit with New Quic Pic from Flic Film is a loading film kit that supplies users with five reloadable cassettes and a redesigned tool made with durable injected ABS plastic for fast opening work. The fully light trapped 35mm film canisters sport a simple and efficient snap-lock design and film spool. The cassettes are reloadable, helping the user avoid the need to buy a new one per roll.

I found the FLIC Film 135mm film Bulk Loader Kit easy to use and light tight. The big word of advice is to practice the assembly and disassembly process several times, both in room light and in the darkroom, prior to actually loading any film as once you have the assembly process down you will find that you will not have any frustration when actually loading bulk film. I use the trusty Lloyds Daylight bulk loader and Pro-Gaff tape. The only negative observation that I would like to make is that one does need to use gentle pressure when opening the cassettes as it is easy to break an engagement notch on the opposite end of the bottom cassette halve when using the supplied Quic Pic cassette opener. Are these as good as the old Kodak metal cassettes that one could salvage; no they are not. However, if one keeps in mind that these cassettes have a limited life cycle (your mileage may vary depending on how aggressively you are when opening the cassettes in the darkroom) they are a good valve for the money.
I've been reloading for 50 years but my Kodak reloadable cassettes are getting a little worn so I tried the Flic. JUNK, it's the Rubik cube of cassettes. I chatted with Leonard at B&H and he gave me some links to YouTube videos. The first one showed me how to roll a boulder downhill to take out a tree and the second showed how to use a bulk loader. I'm not kidding. Not helpful Leonard.
