This product is exactly the same as the brass snap hooks that Coach sold with his wallet years ago, which were $10 or $15 at the time. I know this because I've been using one of the older versions of Coach for over 15 years. I wanted another for a set of keys and couldn't find one anywhere, including Home Depot, which oddly enough only sold really crappy silver tone that was made in China and didn't lock smoothly (took it back for a refund). This is a very strong, heavy and strong carabiner.
