The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Stocking a tackle box for a season of light-line fishing usually comes down to cost per piece, and this snap swivel and barrel swivel combo pack answers that question directly. At $7.99 for 100 pieces of size #14 hardware, it works out to about 8 cents per swivel, undercutting the Norman NMSK-50's roughly 31 cents per piece and the AFW FWSS07B/50's roughly 22 cents per piece by a wide margin.
The 4.5 star average across 162 reviews puts it in the same tier as the Norman NMSK-50, which holds an identical 4.5 stars but across 539 reviews. That gives Norman a longer track record, though this pack's review count is still substantial enough to read as more than a fluke. What is missing is a bought-last-month figure above zero, in contrast to the 100-plus monthly sales each posted by the Norman and AFW listings.
For anglers targeting smaller species or lighter lines where a #14 swivel makes sense, the bulk count and low per-piece price are hard to beat. Anyone needing a documented brand, confirmed material spec, or heavier-duty hardware should look to the AFW FWSS07B/50 or Norman NMSK-50 instead.
Pros
- 100 pieces for $7.99 works out to about 8 cents per swivel, the lowest per-piece cost in this comparison
- 4.5 star average matches the Norman NMSK-50's rating
- 162 reviews is a substantial sample for a budget bulk pack
- Snap and barrel swivel combo covers two connection styles in one purchase
- Size #14 suits lighter line classes where oversized swivels are unnecessary
Cons
- Bought last month shows 0, unlike the 100-plus monthly volume on the Norman NMSK-50 and AFW FWSS07B/50
- No stated material spec, while competitors confirm stainless steel construction
- No brand name attached, making it harder to track consistency across future purchases
- Size #14 is on the lighter end, limiting use for bigger fish or heavier line

Performance notes
The headline number here is the 100-piece count at size #14 for $7.99, which is built for anglers who go through swivels quickly and would rather buy in bulk than restock every trip. Without a stated material spec, buyers are working from the rating and review pattern rather than a confirmed build, unlike the AFW FWSS07B/50, which specifies stainless steel construction rated to 180 pounds. Size #14 places this pack toward the lighter end of the swivel spectrum, appropriate for finesse presentations and smaller species rather than the heavier trolling or big-game use the AFTCO FL1B and AFW FWSS07B/50 are built for. The safety snap feature adds quick-change convenience for switching rigs, a detail worth factoring in alongside the raw price per unit.
What buyers say
A 4.5 star average across 162 reviews is a solid, if not exceptional, pattern, sitting just below the AFW FWSS07B/50's 4.8 across 621 reviews and level with the Norman NMSK-50's 4.5 across 539. The review count is high enough to suggest the rating reflects real usage rather than a handful of early buyers. The notable gap is the 0 bought-last-month figure, which stands in contrast to the 100-plus monthly sales shown by both the Norman and AFW listings. That could mean recent demand has cooled even as the historical review base stays strong.

Frequently asked questions
How much does each swivel cost in this 100-pack?
At $7.99 for 100 pieces, each swivel costs about 8 cents, which is less than the Norman NMSK-50's roughly 31 cents per piece and the AFW FWSS07B/50's roughly 22 cents per piece in this comparison.
Is size #14 strong enough for saltwater fishing?
Size #14 is on the lighter end of the swivel range, generally suited to smaller species and lighter line classes. Anglers targeting bigger saltwater fish may prefer the 180-pound-rated AFW FWSS07B/50 instead.
Why does bought last month show 0 despite 162 reviews?
A 0 figure means recent purchase volume was low at the time of this snapshot, even though the listing has built up 162 reviews over time. Review count reflects history while bought-last-month reflects current demand, and the two can diverge.
