They just work!
I used Schaller for years until they failed me at a gig. The cup rotated so only the pin held the bass on. A terrible design flaw. Switching to Dunlops I’ve been delighted since. Their design is just more robust and less likely to fail.

On all my guitars. Love it!
Works so well and so easily. Never have strap lock issues ever again! Best on the market, IMO. Better than those red beer bottle washers ... looks nicer too

the beer bottle washers are free if you or someone in your house is drinking Grolsch anyway...

I have a lot of guitars, but even at 2 washers a guitar we are not talking about that many beers...

With strap locks, you can easily and quickly remove your strap with one hand in a split second and put the guitar in its case. Or switch guitars without switching straps (helpful if you don't have a roadie). I could be wrong but I believe with the Grolsch washers it takes a little bit more effort to remove the strap and if your guitar won't fit in the case with strap on, this could get annoying. Maybe. Also after much on/off I would imagine the washers get worn out from being stretched. I have friends who use the washers and are very happy, but it's not for me.
