Throw in $100 and you have a deal.

are you making a joke? A threaded cobra oarlock is $5 more expensive than a superston.

The NRS locks are super expensive because they break oars.

That’s interesting to know, I hadn’t heard that

They’re too strong. The tines don’t separate to allow the oar to pop out.

The aluminum ones are totally like that for sure. I would suspect the brass ones would move in a extreme situation but what the heck do I know?

Oarlocks don't break oars. Whoever is pulling on them does... can't learn if you don't listen. Yes, some are better/more efficient than others, but no oarlock (pins&clips are not oarlocks) will break more oars than any other unless it fixes the oar in one orientation...

Slop is your friend. Find the catch and go with it - work on entry and exit (find videos online of rowing sculls and figure it out). If you can't feather, you're losing efficiency...
