Anybody know where I can get some of these? There off a Broom if that helps.

Thanks. I like how these have a little button on them to open them, which I think is really nifty.
 
Used to be quite common for halyards on sailboats. Do have a habit of the press button seizing. Similar thing with a side pull piston to release freely available in any decent chandlers. Called rather cunningly Snap Shackles.
 
Yes the press button on all but one have seized. Have some of those Snap Shackles but they are bigguns. My search goes on. All the 80's brooms have them, so somebody must know where they come from.

I'm looking for some also (Broom Crown) - I did manage to revive one with a dose of WD40.
Broom can no longer supply them and I have just not seen anything quite like them. Disappointing.
 
Exactly the same problem, rang Broom, they can usually supply everything but no luck. I also revived one with WD40 and just about gave another a pulse. Nearly everything gets soaked in salt water with the slightest breeze on that boat. The side door locks seized up after an hour of punishment, but I released them with WD40.
