sorry, I can't keep up with your expanding product line.

Yeah I was going to order some too and was just looking.......not there and I don't want the other ones either, bummer

If they are no longer made, that makes them collectors items

MMMMM...wonder how much my limited edition orange anodized ones are worth and I might have a set of early prototypes around here

I am sure that there are enough dutch buckles that have been sold that they will take a very long time to become a collectors item,,, still, i have 2 sets that i might consider selling, hmmmm, or not...

,, on another note, the cinch buckles with the continuos loop are a very reliable and dependable option and are very easy and quick to set up,, just larkshead them onto your hammock and then all ypou need is a tree strap!!...

Bummer, no wonder I couldn't find them on your site when placing my order today. Oh well.

Come on Dutch just because 1 person used them wrong doesn't mean the rest of us should suffer wink wink nudge nudge :roll eyes:

They could be sold as "belt" buckles

So should I post an add in the WTB section or will this truly be temporary ?

Yeah, I was kinda thinking the same thing. I've used mine a LOT and have never had a single issue with them. They really are an improvement over traditional toggles in a Whoopie Sling suspension set up with the improved retention of the amsteel loop when adjusting.

I agree but if there is a problem, even one out of thousands, it is prudent to take a look at design and instructions to make sure they are as good as they possibly be. I want people to have 100% confidence hanging on my hardware. It is much more important than the sales.
