We use these to tie down a sheet over Sickle's hold when not in active use, but left outside ours rapidly start to corrode at the hinge, to the extent that the spring action is fairly quickly lost. If yours are only out in the elements occasionally, and not used for permanent mooring at Alvecote, this might well take a long while to happen though. Alternatively genuinely all stainless steel parts probably would not corrode, but I have had some deemed to be stainless that still contain parts that do.Alan Fincherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05818658735421434869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087283544997030082.post-46489319350609141092017-07-03T22:17:11.885+01:002017-07-03T22:17:11.885+01:00Used to use that set up, but had the rope through ...Used to use that set up, but had the rope through the connector rather than the chain, the chain being both end at the "small" end of the connector, if you keep the rope tight then any mischievous person will find it very difficult to let you go.
