Belton from AES or CE Dist, well worth the extra buck or so. The standard asian stuff breaks with one tightening.

Are you talking about the bear trap retainers like this?

I like these from AES they have teeth on them.

+1 for the Belton's from AES. Can't fault them...

S-H142 ? The description doesn't say Belton, and others do. The ones I bought from either LV or Hoffman snapped in no time.

I've used 100s of these, haven't snapped one yet.

Also they say........

"Please Note: This tube clip will not work with socket P-ST8-500"

But you can trim the inner screw slot tabs with a pair of hefty side cutters and it will work with any octal socket that I've used to date.
