I don't know about 'junk.' That bad, in your opinion, LT Grey?

I have used the sleepy creek brand and these are close to those(peen on SC is a little wider)
Going to do more testing on them first, but from what i did test them with, they worked.
(The test was hooking one side of the butterfly to a tree, then i hooked swivel to a 7' chain, hooked chain end to a heavy weight. Then i threw the weight hard so it jerked hard on the chain and swivel. Did this several times with no sign of breakage).
I think these would hold a heavy coyote on a two foot chain with a 36 hr check.

Oh I don't know about them being junk at all...If you weld 2 of the swivel bodies together you have a pretty much indestructible unit with a swiveling, pivot action that is superior to the chestnut rings IMO...I also like the angle of the driven stakes that the berkshire design imparts, or pretty much demands.... That pre-determined angle holds better than a stake straight down, and one at an angle IMO....I'm referring to the berkshire style double stake swivel with a J- hook protruding out the top, not the Sleepy Creek, or Butterfly style.

Welding 2 together works. Some use a ~1/4"washer on each hole.

I have the type that has the J hook placed In the center of the double staking system.

But I have mine made out of a thicker material and with larger stake holes. So far I have never had one fail.
