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

Overview
This three way barrel swivel pack sells for $7.97 and includes 50 pieces, making it the lowest-priced option in this comparison on a per-swivel basis. The AFW FWSS07B/50 costs $10.99 for a similar 50-piece stainless steel pack, and the Norman NMSK-50 runs $15.74 for its 50-pack, so this listing undercuts both.
The rating sits at 4.4 stars across 32 reviews, the lowest average and the smallest sample size of the four swivels compared here. The Norman NMSK-50 (4.5 stars, 539 reviews) and AFW FWSS07B/50 (4.8 stars, 621 reviews) both carry far more reviews at equal or higher ratings, which makes this listing's track record harder to read with confidence.
Bought last month lands at 100+, matching the pace of the Norman and AFW listings and well ahead of the AFTCO FL1B's 0+. That demand figure suggests the low price is pulling in steady buyers even without the review volume of the bigger competitors. No material or line-weight spec is listed, so buyers comparing strength ratings will need to look at the AFW or Norman listings, which both publish that data.
Pros
- Lowest price in this comparison at $7.97 for a 50-piece pack
- Three way swivel design suits dropper loops and bottom rigs
- 100+ bought last month matches the pace of pricier competitors
- 50 pieces per pack keeps the cost per swivel well under a dime
Cons
- 4.4 star average is the lowest rating among the four swivels compared
- 32 reviews is the smallest sample size here, well behind the Norman's 539
- No material spec listed, unlike the stainless steel calls on the AFW and Norman packs
- No line-weight or breaking-strength rating provided
- No color option specified in the listing
Performance notes
A three way swivel is built for rigs where the main line, a leader, and a sinker or dropper all need to hang independently without twisting into each other, common on bottom fishing setups. At 50 pieces for $7.97, the per-unit cost undercuts every other swivel in this set, which matters if you go through hardware quickly on rocky or snaggy bottom. The listing does not specify a material or line-weight rating, so anglers targeting larger fish or heavier drag settings will want to weigh that gap against the AFW FWSS07B/50, which lists a 180-pound test rating on similar hardware.
What buyers say
The 4.4 star average is the weakest in this comparison, but it is built on only 32 reviews, a fraction of the sample sizes behind the Norman NMSK-50 (539) or AFW FWSS07B/50 (621). A smaller sample can swing more with a handful of negative reviews, so the gap in stars may reflect volume as much as quality. The 100+ bought last month figure is on par with those higher-rated, higher-reviewed listings, which suggests current buyers are choosing this pack on price and are not flooding it with complaints, even if its long-term review record is thinner than the competition.

Frequently asked questions
Is a 4.4 star rating good for a swivel this cheap?
It is the lowest average in this comparison, but with only 32 reviews the sample is small. At $7.97 for 50 pieces, buyers appear to be prioritizing price over the deeper review history that the Norman NMSK-50 or AFW FWSS07B/50 have built up.
What is a three way swivel used for?
It has three connection points instead of two, letting anglers hang a main line, leader, and sinker or dropper separately so they do not tangle, a common setup for bottom rigs and dropper loops.
How does the price compare to other 50-packs?
At $7.97 for 50 pieces, it costs less than the AFW FWSS07B/50 at $10.99 and the Norman NMSK-50 at $15.74, making it the cheapest 50-count swivel pack in this comparison.
