steel strop snapped

[High Scale]

Thanks for posting the pictures, my Yale steel core has a different snap on the end, it's maybe four to five years old, yours looks alot older.

Wow that is bad ! In it's lifetime it must have had something spilt on it to cause it to rust/weaken like that . Is the rest of the steel core rusted ? And if so how bad ?

rest is rusty but not weak.

Well, its certainly rusty, has it been exposed at any time to salt water, or chemicals of some sort. I have one of those wire-cores, I'll see if I can see beneath the cover any where.

Couple of mins later.....

Just had a look, cant see through the cover anywhere, but the ends still got that galvanised look about them.

 

 

Andy, I have only ever seen small surface patches of rust on a galvanised lanyard and that was right at the ends where the cable is crimped, it was good condition apart from that but it was still failed. (Not by me)

I'd be taking legal advice if I were you. Whats the point of us paying for all this nonsense (IMO) if there is no redress???

 

if the tyres went on your car 11 months after your MOT would you be taking legal advice?

Gulp! Strange place for it to snap

looks like the strop has been in a wet kit bag or left outside ??

Sorry, but if my strop looked like that even before it snapped I think I would have bought a new one!
