I always get the ones with the lobster claws, as they are easier. Not as common but can be found. Was just wondering if anyone knew any good sources. Thanks again. Sonoma

Their clasps are fairly ergonomic and they feel really smooth ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When the axe came into the forest, the trees said the handle is one of us. -bumper sticker

They also have a website although I believe it is geared towards retailers . I purchased my Herco chains through Van Craeynest because they made a pendant for me, and I was pleasantly surprised witht he quality of their chains. I'll bet you could ask around at your local B&Ms to see if they carry the brand; the retailers will probably have a catalog for you to browse as well. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When the axe came into the forest, the trees said the handle is one of us. -bumper sticker
