The snaps are well made and the brass seems to be of good quality. However, the panic snap end is smaller than snaps I have bought from Jeffers in the past so that is going to significantly reduce the flexibility of use for this product for us. However, if you have only a specific few uses in mind for this item, I would definitely recommend> I also wish they still had double ended panic snaps (in the larger size). These were VERY useful and saved horses and people on more than one occasion over the years. But I was unable to find them in the catalog or online.
