    They look like they are the same design. Can't say if they are the exact same ones.
    The ones I've been using are Black and are rated at 1,000lbs.

    What? No Ti version yet?

    And when I used cinch buckles they would/cold ice up hard in a deep winter weather spat...but nothing a hard whack wouldn't dislodge and that is easier to manipulate than whoopies that have wetted out and frozen solid in ice.
    I do like the fact a continous loop is on one side-Larks head that to the gathered end and your done.
    When the Ti model comes out I'll spring.

    Gave mine a try yesterday. I like them much more than the two triangle type that comes on the WBBB.

    I got a couple sets of the chinch buckles yesterday and they are so much easier to use.

    I am looking into it. Getting that middle piece bent right could be tricky. However Titanium would reduce the only downside (IMO), weight.

    There was a similar comment on another thread. It referenced the buckles used on the Dangerbird, and noted they were easier to adjust than the WB cinch buckles. I really like the the WB buckles, but might give these a try as well. The WB buckles are very secure, but can be tricky to adjust sometimes.

    Oh come on now, suck it up...how much could a custom set of dies for a punch press cost? Surely you have a friend in the business.

    I would be interested in replacing my stock webbing suspension on my WBBB with these also. Has anyone done that yet?
