Do you like those winch dealys? I try to avoid using them. I always feel like the metal clasps are going to come loose after an early accident with a light smooshing a seedling...
I don't know which part you are referring to. But I've never had any issues with these.
How did you even do that? What are you referring too as a failure point
That makes sense. That’s why I don’t like s hooks. I have been using zip ties for hanging hvac so it’s super think and super strong I could hang from it myself and I weigh 200 lbs
I go no winch when they are normally hanging and then when I need a different height I attach them
The metal sheet bit that clamps to form the loop that the caribiner is attached to.had one snap in half, but gotcha. I still have a big box full of them, seems like most lights come with 6
These seem nice
No complaints here using the 1" kind! Although, I'm only using them for "smaller" lights in my 2x4 and 3x3. If it's gonna be for a single 5x5 light, then i'd probably get the wider 1.5" straps just to be safe.
They don't usually fail by snapping. The teeth fail.
The crimp. Yeah I can see that possibly happening but you could check it before you hang it. If it slipped just put it in a vice or a clamp to squeeze and fix.
