Better yet, if these are the type of Swivel you want, send me (directly) your
snail mail address…
And the capacity you want (Actually, that probably by Dimension, these are
probably now in a plastic divided box… Not sure how I labeled it… and how many
(within reason)… If I have them, they will be really cheap… I wont have the
Ginormous sizes… But 1000# or 1500# capacity, maybe… Havent looked in that
specific tackle box for years…

Yeah, probably doesn’t need a lubricant. I took one, attached a line from the
swivel to a drill and spun it a bit under a little tension. Didn’t seem to
heat much. I would say, it’s probably more important to keep them clean.

Given the environment (dirty) that you'll be using the swivel, I'd suggest not
using a fluid or semi-fluid lubricant. The swivels should work fine without any
lube, but you can use a dry lubricant such as graphite.

Swivels can be very important for recovery equipment. Spinning during
descent can cause all sorts of problems from tangling to actual causing the
attachment points or shock cord to fail. BTW: I’ve noticed that 3 fin
rockets tend to spin more and always wondered about that.
So, I’ve been doing a little research on swivels for my L3 project and Jason
at LOC Precision was kind enough to send me a photo of the 4 different sizes
they carry. I added the ratings and also had a couple that I had previously
purchased from Jack for my retake of the photo. (For sizes, please look at
the swivels above the parts bags directly below the tape measure.)
These swivels are very durable. I was wondering if I should use a lubricant
on them?
I’ll be placing a small order with LOC Precision this afternoon. Also, a
great place to get tube of course.
