These buckles release under pressure, and should not be used for applications where tension on the buckle is required. The prongs on the male half are rounded and lack the hooks which are present on normal buckles (see second photo). They’re great for cat collars. If the cat collar catches on something, the cat’s struggling action will cause the buckle to open, freeing the cat. They should not be used with leashes.
