Guest Willow Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 (edited) I'm sick of the clip on my leads jamming with sand....it gets stuck in the little spring & renders the lead useless after a few uses....I want a lead that has a carabeena (sp?) type clasp, rather than a spring-loaded one. Anyone know of any brands that are like this???? Edited March 25, 2010 by Willow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 carabiner clips are ok- but really the connection between lead and collar should have a swivel,and carabiners don't have these. A swivel stops the lead and collar twisting.. Why not get a small carabiner and just hook it thru the other clip That way you have a swivel, still - but only have the carabiner to undo!

macka Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 What persephone said - you will end up all twisted. Unless you are living in a really sandy place rinsing the lead clip out after use gets rid of the sand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodlefan Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Why not just put a carabiner through the existing clip and use that? That way it will still swivel. The medium and large Tuff Lock dog leads have a carabiner style clip. Vet Products Direct sell them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First Time Puppy Owner Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I love my Red Dingo lead! Whenever we go to the beach no matter how much sand it gets exposed to it does stop working! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
