This product looks great and does function. If you have windy conditions, you will find that wear on the quick link and all other metal to metal contact points is increased. You will have to think about replacement every two years or less. When this wear erodes through the contact point the retainer will fall to the ground and the impact will break the plastic balls around the retainer and you will end up with only the wire rope. This will still keep the flag close to the pole but it is not as attractive and it does not move on the pole as well as with the balls in place.
