display without buying something. But I am not trying to quit.
I bought one as well, eyeing the tiny S-Biners for accessory wrangling. But as Gnome said, nothing structural.

I have found them @ REI, Autozone and Lowes. They are perfect on the super fly doors. I did 2 outings with them on the ridge line and they were fine. But I rigged the tarp for some tweaking the other day and 2 failed.

Lawson has 10 pack of very nice mini-biners for 10 dollars with free shipping
Just bought a set at Academy on the way home. A bit disappointed to see they fail for tarp lines, though.
Back to the drawing board
i use these lil "S"biners to attach my stake out lines to my tarps, in the hopes that they will act as a "weak link" should i trip over a stake guy line.
easier to replace a plastic hook than to repair a tarp.
i have filed the "barb" off of one that i use to attach my pillow to my SRL, those little barbs love to catch themselves in amsteel fibers.
Yeah posted it while back. Its pretty good deal. Just remember they dont hold much weight at all.

I use them for my guy outs on the superfly. I use about a 6 inch piece of shock cord looped to attach to the tie out on tarp. Then connect the s biners. then to the guy lines. They hold up better than you might think. The shock cord takes a lot of the shock and prevents breaking them. With that said having the superfly up between to trucks as a shade shelter for a group in 15-20 mph winds and gust of 30 I did have one fail. I think that is pretty impressive. Besides whats carring a couple extra for the what if. I have found the same size in metal. I use two on my ridge line. The rest are the plastic ones.
I just bought a set of the metal ones on e-bay. I figured I'd use them for my tarp setup. I just haven't figured out where or how yet.
