redpat1 225 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Hi Mate, if you want high quality gear that you can fit and forget then Strong stuff kit is excellent and will probably out last your dogs! I don't know much about Gafer's offerings but some good lads on here like his kit and that is good enough for me. At the end of the day it all depends on personal taste, best of luck. http://www.strongstuff.co.nr/ Nice looking stuff are they light? They certainly aren't over heavy but the workmanship and the materials are definitely heavy duty. I genuinely don't think you can find a cheaper alternative offering anywhere near this kind of quality. Do your self a favour and get an order together. You wont have to worry about ever buying them again. Pat 1 Quote Link to post

redpat1 225 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 I have the 1.5's and matching leads for my dogs. Although when I get the new pup I will go for a lurcher type from him. By the way, I am not on commission lol but I don't have money to chuck about anymore and I am a firm believer in buy quality, buy once. Hope that helps. Pat Quote Link to post
j1985 1,984 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Strong stuff gears top notch, will never let you down!! Light as leather if not lighter and if dirty just chuck it in the washing machine, comes up as good as new. Quote Link to post
socks 32,253 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 I have got a slip lead off strong stuff and it is light strong and does the job perfectly ... The other bonus is that it will fit all neck sizes without any adjustment ................ Quote Link to post

IMG_0782.JPG IMG_0790.JPG I'm guessing by the look of your lead you work your dogs,but what us keyboard coursers like is a big shiny leather with brass fittings look the part matching collar and lead set for when we are mincing around the country shows,anyway how is the rosette collection coming on 3 Quote Link to post

Guest vin Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Strongstuff gear is spot on. I got him to put an extra ring on the handle end of my extra strong and thick leads and they double up perfectly as game carriers. 20 bunnies on each lead easy. Quote Link to post
THLpatrick 555 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Strong stuffs gear all day. , whether that's slip leads, terrier couples or your lurcher collars only the best and look great. Quote Link to post
