I prefer locks that don't require a bur of steel on the hole to keep them locked down. It probably stems from having a required deer stop on the snares that doesn't always allow the snare to quickly dispatch whatever you catch thus it loosens if the bur wears off when they fight the snare or if you reuse a lock. I know cable size and type come into play as well on the lock's performance. I suspect the folks here that choose, (rather than are mandated) one piece locks use smaller cable and no deer stops.

I have killed coyotes with them but they usually had jelly head and the set was tore up. I now use micro lock with 50 lb spring and senneker snares. They put them down fast
