I'm seeing some chatter about Rapid Links recently. Here is an article I wrote on that in 2020 - my situation has changed and I see I need to update the 'what I am doing' remarks, but I think it has some useful information for people. And some maybe-useful opinion. (link is comments, as part of arm-wrestling with the algo-rhythm.)

teaser:
"What you are looking for are Rapid Links (aka Rapides, Quick Links, Maillon Rapide, Links). Available in many styles and sizes. The cheap ones are junk, meaning, they have no brand name on them, and their quality varies widely... and they are not really made for life-safety applications. These no-brand rapides are often referred to as "Pacific Rim", and are available at Home Deport, Harbor Freight, etc... I recommend against using non-brand-name hardware for life safety applications."
