I have purchased several of these cable sets and one of the highlights for me is the snap clip. I have used other cables without safety clips and when the clip breaks. garbage cable. Other cables have a latch protected by a spherical coating that I find almost impossible to push down and detach the cable in these tight spaces where the cable connectors are side by side. However, these cable locks are well designed, well protected, and easy enough to pop open in those hard-to-reach places. That's the main reason I buy these cable packs.
