Just finished up my first DIY hammock and wanted to give a big thumbs upto the new June Bug Buckles. They hold solid as a rock, are super easy to raise AND lower (thanks to the tabs on one of the buckles) and are only $9.50 a pair including the continuous loops! How can you go wrong with that?
Thanks Dutch!
Love mine! Have 2 more sets that should ship soon!
They are a relatively new item, but I'm surprised I haven't heard more on them. I ordered a couple of pairs as soon as they were announced and think these are great. One of the easiest to use webbing based pieces of hardware that I've handled. For a webbing based suspensions, I like these more than the titanium cinch buckles, cinch buckles, spiders, cinch bugs, multibuckles, etc...
The only thing I can't compare these to are the beetle buckles, but with so many options I have already and how much I enjoy these, I'm not sure if I'll ever get around to it.
I think these also make great choices for beginning hangers. Super easy to use even for green hangers and really affordable. I've outfitted a number of friends with diy gear to start and these will become my go-to pieces for setting new people up.
Great work on these Dutch!
I wonder if Dutch plans on making them available without the continuous loops? I would consider use them over the standard Cinch Buckle if the price point was similar ($5 per set)
