What are the hooks called?  I've been trying to find these to make a couple of armguards and can't for the life of me think what they are called.

Dang it's a bugger getting old.  LOL

Mike ,
Don't feel bad, I can't remember what they call them either.  The last time I got some was from the boot repair shop in Bozeman,  Check the local boot shop, but I guess most Texans don't lace up their boots so they might not have them.     It take a special punch and gromet (sp) spreader to fit them properly too.

Speed laces?
Like on your Danners.

Wingnut, I've made a couple of armguards using buttons that are made out of fake antler sections. Those work pretty well.
Since Mike ( Mikes Archery Leather) made me one, I use it.  Frank

I bought some at the local Veach's Saddlery.  They were in a tiny plastic ziploc baggie with Tandy logo on it.  A boot repair shop, saddlery, Tandy leather or Leather Factory store are all good places to look.

I've always bought them as 'Ski-boot hooks'
The speedlace eyelets are a little different.

However, YMMV.

:D

I've got some I use for armguards... believe they are called Alaskan hooks. I'll check the box tomorrow and get back to you.

Thanks Charlie!

Mike

I too, would like to know where you can get some and a setter. I've been through the Tandy/Leather Factory site several times w/no luck.

Mike... sorry for making you wait. I got my hooks and hook setting machine from this company a long time ago. Hope it helps.
