Hoop connectors, metal for 14mm wide steel

Needed to be able to change the amount of support on a costume skirt from stiff to more fluid. These connectors allow me to remove a hoop if I need to change the amount of movement of the skirt. Exactly what I needed. So grateful.

Found the connectors very helpful, Would not have started a project that's taken 20 years to finished. Thank you

They fit perfectly on the hoop steel and hold it firmly

Very easy to use, and they work great! Downside is they're very obviously visible if you're making a cage hoop like I was. They feel like a very industrial item, heavy and strong but also a little greasy/dirty feeling. No dirt or grease was transferred to my white cotton fabric, but they were clearly visible through the fabric.
REPLY: the greasiness comes from the manufacturing - lubrication. We try to keep ahead of the cleaning but if you get some greasy feeling ones toss them in the sink with some dish washing liquid and swish them around, then let them dry before using. The are made of galvanized steel to keep them strong and rust resistant - you can always spray paint them white so they won't show as obviously. Most cages have skirts over top so it's not usually and issue.

Very easy to use
