some items marketed as "stainless-steel" or "brass" are just plated sh**-metal like zinc.
one bath in salt-water and the clip is trash.
how can you tell? one easy method is 'how much
does it cost'? If it is a dollar or two it is
almost suredly crap and not worth buying.
Make CERTAIN you are purchasing "marine grade" brass or SS (usually a 300 series)
