I know what you mean Sam
The ones in normal pet shops are not really much use for my two the last one snapped as it had a faulty weld in it as Inga suddenly found an interesting smell in the hedge on the way to the field.
They just don,t seem to make them as strong anymore they are all made of really lightweight metal not strong enough to hold a 35 kg dog if it decides to take of after a cat.
I,m going to look for a couple of spare ones myself.
