As to the metal straps... they were nothing to brag about. Always unscrewing themselves so that you lost the tag. I will probably leave the new metal tags in the drawer since I securely fused the metal straps together with Loc-Tite. I'd have to pull out the heavy tools to unscrew them now.

Interesting thing about the metal tags I just received... they don't show 2MM like before.

But. I'll be 3MM in a few months anyway.
Just put a tiny bit of hair gel or hair spray into the screw and once it dries, it's enough to keep it from unscrewing itself.
