Morning, I'm after a set of Cinch Buckles, could anyone point me in the direction of obtaining a set please. Purchased some from here a while ago but can't for the life of me remember who that was.

Thank you

A google search reveals they are as rare as rocking horse poo. Try Henge Hammocks on ebay. There are none listed but maybe hes putting an order in soon to Dutch.

Hi Meadows, thank you for the information. Have contacted Henge and they have some on order. They could be here in the UK next week.

Many thanks

What fortuitous timing.
I might get some for my home setup. What straps do you use?

I use some straps that I got from Gadget...

I think I have a set I don't use in the bottom of a box somewhere, I'll have a hint for them.
They work with the polyester, but not the dyneema.

I've ordered a set of the Dutch Beetle Buckles, any one have experience of using these.....

I have experience with half a dozen of different buckles. The Dutch Beetle Buckles are the very best of them, the nonplusultra of buckles. Lightweight, easy to install, easy to use and nearly undestroyable.

Never ever other buckles. Unless Dutch will invent something better.

I've been using the beetle buckles for a year or so, no real complaints once you have the knack of them (holding them the correct way to get them to slide etc.)

Cheers

I'm not sure but I don't think they work on the dyneema webbing. They are best suited to poly strapping.

Due to a lot of contagious enthusiasm I have a spare set of cinch buckles, so if any needs a pair let me know. A small fee will be involved
