I likethe fact they are very small but I can still see the lock at a distance to know if my snare is down or not. Those are good locks. If I had to choose a one piece lock it would be a BMI mini lock. If I had to choose a "relaxing" lock it would be the Newt's lock.

A guy a few miles away is using over sized cam locks on 5/64 1x19 cable and I snare at least one a year wearing one of his around their neck after they chew out! They are always full of hair and loose. Not sure what brand he uses but I have a pic.

The troubles I think are more likely than a bad lock is a non-loaded snare with too big of a loop so they are getting the snare low on the neck and then lack of sufficient entanglement to wrap them up tight and dispatch them.
