I found these:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/ZZYZX-SnapJack-Magnum-Locking-Guitar/dp/B001BRYA16



It just looked similar in function. Hope it helps. Amazon is out but maybe others will have them.

Nope, it aint the same. This is stupid. Sorry for wasting your time and my time.

I'll run across some again...

You could just go with George L's. They work the same way, and have the benefit of being the best-sounding (meaning most neutral) cables I have ever used.

I agree with gball

I'm sure these Planet Waves cable ends work very similar to the Easy Lock cable ends.

I've used them on pedal boards. Don't know how they'd work on the end of an instrument cable that is always moving around.

Are you selling these?

 

[Amp Mad Scientist]

Are you selling these?

Screw lock (or solder-less cables) are absolutely worthless; they are the least reliable cables ever conceived.
The only way to build reliable cables is to solder the connections...
and I recommend you buy Switchcraft connectors.
Avoid any cable with crimped or screwed connections. ESPECIALLY speaker cables, which could fry the output transformer.

Avoid "Hot Wires" cables.

Some cables from China are built out of aluminum wire, the connections are glued, and the cable is labeled : "oxygen free copper."
These cables are reprehensible trash.

The best way to avoid crap cables is: don't buy anything from China. Not plugs, not wire, not cables.
"Lifetime Warrantee" from China --- worthless, don't fall for it.

So again I ask if @neildoesguitars is trying to sell these on this forum or is he offering to give these away or is he just informing us of this product?

Hi, sorry for the slow reply, I live a bit rural and don't always get to the computer.
Yes, they're for sale.

I agree to a certain extent. I've had more cable failure from factory made soldered cables than screw type though. No failures to date from the Easy Lock after 20 years.
