Happy_Camper Campfire Outfitter Joined: Jun 2020 Posts: 9,450	Originally Posted by StrayDog Does anyone know of a sling attachment, swivel, or hardware that is coated with something quiet, like nylon or rubber that is noiseless? I plan to put a light dip of rubber based caulking on the pair I will use next. It's pretty tough compared to the silicone version, but is also clear. I see no reason why it will peel if it's cleaned well with the right solvent first. One other set is plastic and made by Outdoor Connection. I like the Brute, but won't buy off of Amazon.. Spend the extra buck and get a set from a sporting goods store (not Dicks SG though.) 😉 They are quiet and strong. https://www.amazon.com/Outdoor-Connection-Brute-1-Inch-Swivel/dp/B001OPRJ18 Last edited by Happy_Camper; 09/28/21.

They are pretty much bulletproof and completely silent. I use Chicago screws (screw rivets) to fasten the swivel loops on each end. John

They charge just $7 not including shipping (maybe a coupon code?) I don't know of any drawbacks. If the knurling on the little bolt / screw bothers you, it can be wrapped with a tight rubber band or rubber ring. I have had a set of metal swivels (unknown brand) break unexpectedly. I have this 1.25 size OC Brute and don't expect that to happen. Last edited by Happy_Camper; 09/28/21.
