    Whitely Swivel

    Looks to be unused. The S hook looks a little wider at the bottom then the Everlast S hooks .

    These are nice swivels. When they were new, there was a felt pad that kept the ball down in the socket without restricting the movement. I've encountered very few of these that still had the pad in them. When they wore out, most users didn't bother to replace them.

      Interesting, no sign of the felt pad. I have been trying out black fiber washers as a buffer and have had good results. Stops the jump, less wear and tear, and makes it a little quieter.

I use two steel washers on my everlast swivel, One of my washers is just a regular washer that you can get at any hardware store, The other washer is a valve spring washer from when i used to work at an auto machine shop, It practically has no jump but I also use my steel ball which is only shaved on one side and is not on the other side, I'm curious how the fiber washer would work on an everlast ball that is shaved (cut) on both ends ?

        They are called black fiber washers and I got these tat Home Depot . They are in the nuts and bolts aisle in the slide out drawers where the specialty items are.
