Concur. I replaced the dog leash brass clip on my commercial tow  
system with a $27 SS safety harness type clip from West Marine. I can  
use it with or without gloves and dont have to worry about the pin  
corroding like in the typical biner.  I also added a yard of thick  
bungee to the end nearest me as a shock absorber. I need to learn the  
daisy chain method of rope storage and see if I like it.
