Review on Hillman Group 2809 Machine Bushing by Ellington Gardner

I bought these to use as hinges that attach to tent pegs to create a quick fold and reliable tent guying system. All parts had a smooth die cut, smooth finish and none had manufacturing defects. Since they're die-cut, an inside edge is smoother, so I turned the smoother side down so the sharp edges wouldn't cut through the paracord when the guy lines are whipped during a storm. They were perfect for the use I envisioned and I'm glad they were all very consistent in shape, well made and cost MUCH less than my local hardware store.
