I was looking for a small connector to my keyring to my paracord bracelet. So I'm looking for something similar to a high quality buckle or something similar.
from the page: "1,000 lb. load-bearing buckle" and "PROUDLY HAND-CRAFTED IN THE USA" This is likely the closest thing you're going to get to meeting your stated criteria.
Yeah it's definitely at the top of the list for now. I've also been looking at just the buckle itself, as I don't need the strap part of it.
Very tacticool
Made in the USA with a gate opening of 0.63 inches so probably one of the smaller ones out there. https://www.stageriggingwarehouse.com/430-62085-smc-force-tac-d-aluminum-carabiner-screw-locking-tactical-black.html
Do you know the size of it? I was considering locking carabineers like this or even rock climbing ones, however they're way too big for a small keychain.
Edit: oo gate .63 inches. That probably means overall length is around 1.5 inches. That's not bad
Is “cheap labor” code for made in China? If so you can just say it.
No because it can also be other developing nations, it includes China and also places like India, Bangladesh, Mexico, etc.
What do you carry on a daily basis?
