Is this the worst clasp?!?! Lobster Clasp
Ойын-сауық
Most chains being sold come with a standard lobster clasp. Now there's different designs and variants but the mechanics and how they work are relatively the same. Which brings a big issue on them breaking or failing to keep the chain or bracelet secure. In this video I wanted to do a review on the clasp itself and my tips to keep it working and doing it's job. I personally prefer the lobster clasp on my of my jewelry.

I’ve had a lobster clasp on my chain that was handed down to me from my great grandfather and I wear it everyday and have so for over 15 years and it still has yet to fail on me 👌👌👌

Since I started metal detecting I always carry a magnet to give my gold findings a quick test, I noticed only the clasp would stick to the magnet and only the clasp. Thanks for the info. It finally makes sense.
No lobsters were hurt (yet) while making this KZread video!

Do you do repairs on lobster clasps that were purchased from your site?
Question plan on buying from your site soon, am I able to order a different type of clasp than what’s in the photo of whatever chain I decide to buy? Even if it’s a little extra.
Very helpful and informative information bro. Keep up the excellent work and the grind of growing your business. You're gonna be huge one of these days like on that TV Johnny top level. Smash button hit!!! Smash!!!

Can a box lock be made for a curb link chain? Or do they only have to be a lobster clasp?
The problem for me has always been the super tiny clasps on the super thin chains, manipulating those little levers hurts. Moral of the story, buy bigger chains. 🧐

WantSome Mor that’s a tough question, depends on the look you are going for and your build. I’m a slimmer dude looking for a low key look, so right now I’m looking at 2.5/2.7/3.5mm baby curbs. If you’re not sure, lots of videos on this channel to help you decide.
this helped a lot brother ! thanks for the video !
I simplified my 5mm rope by removing the lobster clasp, checking weak spots, cutting the ends, and soldering them together. Still fits around my head with an inch clearance.
He called it. Wire out of place after polishing the chains.
Do you do silver lock upgrades?
I got a question about something. If any of my gold jewelry or silver jewelry gets scratched then I can just take it to a jewelry and they can just get the scratches or nicks out and make it look brand new again correct?
what’s a better necklace connected other than a lobster clasp
Do your lobster clasp have a small gap by the clip ?

I'm planning on getting a 14k bracelet. Considering the wear on each type, would you go with a lobster clasp or a box clasp?

I have an 8mm figaro. And i just hate how the chain kips flipping on my neck. And i dont get a straight look of the chain on the curve. How can i fix it or what type of clasp can i change it to, to stop that. I imagine it would to be rotating capable.
Might be a dumb question but Can I go to a jeweler and get the lobster replaced with a box clasp for my Chain

I have a question, my lobster clasp broke but what broke was not the mechanism but where the clasp ends that the makes it close, I’m thinking I could Bend it or should I just take it in and soak like 50 bucks for a repair, it’s like a millimetre large break it’s so small,
Thanks 'JACOJE LYNX' for sharing your knowledge with us all ! You mentioned in the video that the spring inside a gold lobster clasp is not made from gold since it's too soft. 1) What type of wire is the spring made from typically in gold clasps? stainless, plated steel, nickel or other.. please specify? 2) Does the steel type matter (compatibility wise) if its a 10K or a 14K or a 18K gold lobster clasp? 3) What gauge wire usually are these springs made from? Thanks again & God bless!

I am fine with the lobster clasp as long as it is sturdy. If it does break tho, it's easier to fix then the box lock I would guess.
I have recently snapped my lobster clasp and am going thru the process of getting it replaced, is this a hard job or is it fairly standard. Also I have no idea about chains so does it have to be a lobster clasp or can it be any clasp. Help would be appreciated.

IMO if it has a lobster clasp your jump ring should be soldered closed. I just recently bought a 22" 9mm miami cuban and even that had an open jump ring. I took it and had it soldered closed for the peace of mind. I have heard though that the benefit would be if it did get snagged on something and pulled the open jump ring would just break or deform instead of your clasp or chain breaking... but 🤷♂️
How do I fix it
A place wants 125 to replace my clasp. With keeping the old broken one. Seems like a rip off. I'll buy it myself, then bring it to a different store and have them melt the jump ring. And then i still have a small piece of scrap gold to add to my scrap and sell eventually.
