    Anyone have a couple of sets of these they would want to sell?[IMG]https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-2I0RXXQ_JhU/UIp3BOHLfnI/AAAAAAAABj8/XHJ_biRcXJQ/s1152/P1040081.JPG[/IMG]

    Thanks.

    Last time I was at Meaders I picked up a few….. good ones, not cheesy knock-offs. I bought the last ones in the store, but I would check with them.

    I have a secret stash, that may have a surplus, of old but not worn-out, that I can evaluate if you don’t find better ones. (Kind of like bridle chains….. I’m not inclined to let them go, but I might find a few)

    You want 4?

    Hey Carl:

    Thanks for the reply. I couldn’t find them in Meaders catalogue. I emailed a picture to a sales person. I’ll let you know what I find out.

    Got ’em, thanks. Page 70 for anyone whose interested (http://www.meadersupply.com/Publish/catalogs/tack_catalog/Tack-Catalog.pdf). I can’t stand the newer style clips. I have gone through 2 sets in less than 5 years.

    In what way do they fail?

    On one set the gates that keep the hook closed froze open and no amount of PB Blaster or WD40 could keep them lubricated. Every time I hitched I would have to open and close them with my Leatherman. This last set (on both harnesses) the swivel froze. I had to put a torch to them to get them unfrozen. Even after gererous lubrication they are frozen again in the wrong position thereby twisting my front pole straps at odd angles.

    That’s interesting. Obnoxious, I’m sure, but interesting. The ones in the picture – are those cast? I’ve never seen a swiveling one before. Is the swivel of any benefit? When it is functioning correctly, I mean.

    The only reason for the swivel, as far as I can tell, is if your rings on the neck yoke are oriented differently (i.e parallel or perpendicular to the pole). I make all my own neck yokes and orient the rings perpendicular – well suited to the clip pictured above. I believe they are cast.

    Just for reference…..

    I have a full set of old ones, one is a bit worn. One good set on the harnesses. And one brand new set waiting to be used. Still can’t bare the thought of selling any :rolleyes:.
