i had 2 small size 10 snap swivels fail on me last year.
i emailed the company who asked me to post them back up. got an email a few days later saying every swivel i sent back was tested and didnt break, even with 120lbs of pressure put on them

Gerrys power swivels from gerrys of morcombe.

By far and away the best swivel I have ever used. They are pretty much unbreakable and are used on all my rigs.
UP THE DEISE!!!!!!!

If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.
