I have been using Dunlop for years. They are installed on so many of my guitars and straps that it is a bit too late to change brands. I have been noticing on the last couple of installs the screws are now very cheap soft metal. You have maybe one shot to get them in. If you have to back them out and go back in they are pretty much stripped. The rest of the products seem to be the same quality. Some bean-counter probably saved 5 cents a unit swapping to the cheaper screws. Next straplock install I will go to the hardware store to get some real-deal steel screws. I just feel like some of these companies are nickel and diming us to death.
The one thing they did do I love is you can now buy the strap pins without buying the whole system.
