Hewnda10 Sets Stainless Steel Bow Shackle - of Alloy Umbrella Rope Buckle, Adjustable D Buckle Umbrella Rope Bracelet Buckle Survival U Shape （Silver), Silver

I will use these, but I have to make clear, these are not stainless steel. They are clearly coated, with a line down the middle showing where they did one side and then the other. If you are looking for stainless steel, these are not it. I would have at least given three stars, but the design of the extension piece has three holes for the pin to fit through, and the one for the shortest length does not actually fit inside the bow of the shackle.

I was extremely disappointed when I found out that these were not solid stainless steel, but maybe stainless steel color coating. I make industrial jewelry and advertise using high-quality stainless steel, I wore one of my necklaces for three months to make sure it would hold up to its advertising but sadly the clasp failed. So hard to find solid high-quality stainless steel clasps. They are very durable and strong just not stainless steel.

These appear to be a solid steel buckle, but I do not believe they are. They feel very light, look like they are chrome painted, because some have imperfections on them, some don't thread well either. Some quality control issues going on here. I mean for the price, I guess it's ok, but if you make and sell Paracord Bracelets, I would not recommend these. I would not feel comfortable selling these to people. Just my experience so far.

It's a solid connection that isn't going to crack like a plastic snap would. That being said, the threaded connection is a little hard if you're looking for a tighter fit (full disclosure: I used this to make a paracord watch band). The finish does tarnish rather quickly, so keep that in mind if you have allergic reactions to copper or anything of that nature. That being said, it's a good, solid connection, and a good bang for your buck.
