Visited my new LDS today

[Furner]

I asked for some small bolt snaps, and got the response "Umm, what are those?". Explained what they are, and "Ummm, I dont think we carry anything like that". I even told them this is the kind of thing commonly used on reels and lift bags, and they did not know what these two items were either. This is a Sea-quest USA dealer, and a listed Dive-Rite dealer. Very surprised that they dont even know what a bolt-snap is, or carry them (I looked around the public area and didnt see any).
Pretty dissappointed with the LDS in my new hometown

hmmm...

maybe ask for a "clippy-thingy"...sometimes when I mention this, they light up and say, "oh....those! You use these for diving?!!!"

They might be a Dive-Rite dealer but do they stock their products or do they order it when a customer asks for it?

Any other shops within a 30 minute drive?

No others close at all. I have one close to my home, but I am gone at school for most of the year. I did see dive-rite regs, but no dive-rite bc gear. i even described it as "little silver clips". rawr

Hey Guys -- we have the largest stock of Stainless Steel Bolt Snaps and Double End Snaps in the biz.

Most dive stores don't stock these things. Why? I have no idea other than they are an inventory nightmare. However we got em and ship them to divers all over the world every day.
