looks like the business end of a McMahon snap. Those work well. Try 'em Zac.

Just my 2 cents, but I don't like the clips that have an overlapping area where the plug rests. Some plugs have significantly smaller eyes and have issues sitting unobstructed at the top.

Also, these seem prone to the same flaw as the spro snaps, where the plug can end up getting wedged into the wire where the little "easy-catch" bend is for installation.

I like the design, I've had breakaways almost open, but with the doubled wire it needs to open a lot more, and the tag ends might prevent it from happening in this design. I'll be trying em for sure.
