What do you think about this cheap strap locks?  Any thoughts? IMO price/value ratio is awesome. I also painted washers in black to keep things neat. http://blog.x123.net/2006/03/15/guit...locks-for-028/

My favorite, even over expensive straplocks. |

They fit over a strap button perfectly, and never come off. But if you want them off, just stretch them back over. Have had my set on for over two years, never budged!

In the past I used thick rubbery plastic washers from the hardware store that had just the right size of hole to be able to squeeze them on or off to remove a strap, while still holding it well the rest of the time. |
