I have always used rings on turnbuclkes, they are much quicker to adjust and less likely to cause wounds, but the last few years have had trouble getting good ones. The wire is too soft and winds up getting mangled. Chinese junk I suppose, but the local marinas don't have a better source. Anyone found a source with decent quality online?

No issues. It makes it easy to adjust the rigging often.

This looked like a great idea to me as I sometimes find it difficult to get bent cotter pins back out of the turnbuckles. Any down side of using rings instead of pins?
