My lanyards have a single spring locked latch on each end. Am I to
understand that newer lanyards have 2 latches on each end for a total of 4
latches per lanyard? My lanyards are only 3 or 4 years old. Just thought
I'd ask as I just noticed this thread. BTW, I got mine from Klein if I'm
not mistaken.
