Does anyone know a good site for purchasing duraflex buckles and G Hooks and such?

 

[HJ Handy]

milspecmoneky.com and rockywoods.com are two places I often buy from but they carry ITW/Nexus. Havent found many places to buy Duraflex buckles. Both ship super fast.

Thanks! Maybe I you boys could help with a question regarding hardware.... the ITW G hooks, can you use them to cinch down loads or the webbing will slip? Does that makes sense? Im wondering if they will work on the side of the webbing that is cinched down or if they need to be in the solid end (sew into the webbing) side???

Mine hold on the webbing on my kifaru packs. Some have trouble with it though. You will just have to test it out.

Cool. Im going to order some and see if works with my Icon cause the design on the load sling is very annoying in my opinion.

mine hold very well, so well its tough to get them to loosen up as they dont have the "tab" like a ladder lock does that helps you push it to the loosening angle

I was thinking about that problem too. Someone should make a G hook that's more like a ladder lock with the tab.

its not a big deal as you just need a hair of slack and you can unhook totally
