PARACORD PLANET Brand Contoured Side Release Black Buckle - Multiple Size and Quantity

The buckles are very sturdy and I like the fact that they are contoured. They are great for fastening para cord bracelets.

These are really nice buckles. They are not like the traditional ones that snap on the outside where you can actually see the teeth lock on the outside. These have 2 notches on the tips of the 2 outside forks of the male end that snap inside of the female end and you can't see the lock. Not sure how else to put it but I don't want to spend a lot of timing narrowing this down to technicality. Basically, I think it's a nice design. Plus, you don't have to worry about lining it up straight for it to snap. Once the male end is in, just shove her in and it snaps. Also, unfastening the buckle is super easy, you just barely squeeze on it. I thought this might be a bad thing at first, but both sides have to be pinched, obviously, and I don't ever see that happening in any normal circumstance. The locking nubs might wear down eventually and this ease of unfastening may be a problem down the road because there's not much surface to surface on the lock as there is on a previously mentioned design but we shall see. I used mine for 1 1/8 inch wide bracelet and it flows nicely. I wish it had a little more bend in it but I am being picky on that front. I guess you can only do so much bend on these things. It is contoured a little bit however which is nice. I just had to make the bracelet a little longer so I could have comfortable enough wrist movement. Anyways, hope this helps.

Satisfied my expectations.

These Paracord Planet Side Release Black Buckles are excellent quality. Easy to open and close. The contoured shape is great for bracelets. We purchased the 1/2" buckles and they are very very small. Excellent if you are making bracelets with/for kids. But you'll need larger buckles for adult paracord bracelets. Also note that the actual product is different from the seller's photos. Each buckle only has one slot on each of the male and female ends of the buckle. See other customer photos for a better idea of how the actual product you will receive will look like.And if you are making dog collars with these buckles, the 1/2" buckles would make nice collars for a smaller dog or if you want a thinner collar.

I bought these for a costume. They are exactly as described and very sturdy. I dropped a set on the floor and accidentally put my chair on top of it (while I was sitting in it), and it neither broke nor scratched. There were 10 sets (each set consisting of two pieces) included in a clear ziploc bag. The sets did not put together, but were easy to match up. The ziploc bag itself was bursting at the seams (literally - you'll need to store it somewhere else probably). The measurement was accurate (the 3/4" refers to the width of the buckle - it's a bit longer than that though).
