Best online source for quality bolt snaps?

Post by -Aaron- »

I picked up a pack of bolt snaps from dive gear express about a year ago. A fair amount of them had sticky action on the gates when I got them and at this point all of them have rusted springs. I was wondering if anyone has online source for good quality bolt snaps? I don't mind paying a little bit more if it guarantees smooth gate action and I can avoid having to cut them off from rusted springs in six months. I picked up a smaller 3 inch size for my regulators before, but I'm finding them a bit too small, so I would probably be looking for something slightly larger, also need a few double enders.

Has anyone ordered from Nix lately? For some reason, I seem to recall someone telling me they were all out of most snaps recently

Nix was out of some styles temporarily, but most are back in stock now.

If you need some, call him up with an idea on a custom package of a dozen or more -- he'll give you an EPIC price :)

Interesting. When I last communicated with him back in July, he said, "I hope to doing Stainless Steel again in about a Year."

I was able to source boltsnaps elsewhere.

Just a quick update. I made an order for a package of the 12SS bolt snaps and 162SS double enders today. I got an email back from Nix saying that they should ship out today, so they look to be back in stock.

I think Nix changes suppliers, I am finding Oxycheq to have the best quality.
