Review on BEADNOVA Release Plastic Adjustable Paracord by Tara Ford

I wanted to save some money and use these as replacement buckles on my backpack. The way to do this was to cut a diagonal line through the top so I could thread it through the existing strap. The problem is that the top of the buckle is too thin and when I broke the top of the buckle by cutting it with a serrated knife, it broke twice while using the backpack. On the third try, I learned to put less stress on the buckle and prevent it from breaking. By the way, I found out that Kelty will be replacing my buckles! Of course I still have to get through this bag of buckles!
