I just got the steel ones from HTG they were also $15.00 but IMHO are of a slightly better quality then the tie on YO-YO's. At least I feel safe about them not failing anytime soon. The only plastic on them is the eye opening at the end that hooks to the light. :thumbsup:

Not to knock what you got there, I would have gotten that type had I ordered online but, I had to go and shop at HTG in person, I am a 'hands on' kinda guy when it comes to spending the hard earned.
