Interesting NIB. I needed some #34 Coastlock snaps and went to a well stocked local shop - they didn't have any. I asked if they were on order and the young kid at the counter asked me "Why would you use them? He tried to sell me some of the new snaps and Crosslocks. I told him to forget it and I would mail order them. Looks like the next generation of casters has no idea that Coastlocks have been the snap of choice for many, many years. I'm all for personal preference but quality stands the test of time.
