Nice idea
Right.
I'm a pro musican of 30 years playing bass, double bass, guitar.
I picked these up to try out, as I usually use strap locks on all my gear. (BTW just moved from Shcaller's to Harley Benton's version after many many years, they're great & 1/3 rd the price!)
I've found these to be nice, & have put then on my daughter's strap.
I'm not going to swop over to these for me however as I move around quite vigorously at times and have been able to pop these off. I was purposely trying to do this BTW to see if I could.
To summarise
- I think these would do you fine if you're no to full-on when playing.
- If you are a bit of a rocker I'd recommend Harley Benton's Strap Locks, extremely good value.

Flenslock - Fenderstyle
The Fender Strap-Blocks are exactly the size of the rubber-rings you usually get with a bottle of Flensburger beer.
Many guitar-players have been using this rubber-rings for years to lock their guitar-strap tightly to their guitar. This works very well and doesn't need any modifications, neither to the guitar, nor to the strap.
The Fender Strap Blocks are cheaper, then the most other strap-lock-system. Although you can get the same amount of rubber-rings (4) + 4 bottles of beer for the same price.
On the plus-side the Fender blocks have a Fender-logo, which improves the look a little bit. And did I mention, that black beerbottle-rubberrings are hard to find?

Useful and okay quality
I bought the strap blocks because I already had had an accident with a guitar falling from a worn out strap. These blocks do a good job preventing that. Since they´re made of rubber, it does good not letting the leather holes of the strap slip along the metal of the guitar blots. If there is a defect, is on the durability. I have to take part of the fault since I do change straps quite a lot, whenever you remove the blockers and install them again it does some damage to them. So one of the ones I bought has a little crack already, but still doing its job as long as I leave it. So maybe, if you plan on using more than one guitar, better to let them alone once placed on the guitar. This way I think they can last pretty long. They are good for the price so you can get two for each guitar you have. Also a good thing about the material is that it fits into every type of standard guitar, whatsoever the thickness of the strap.

Perfectos. Estaría bien todos negros
Tienen el grosor, dimensiones y material adecuados. Cumplen su función. Las correas nunca se sueltan.
Lo único, que vengan dos negras y dos rojas.

Made in America
Malo skuplje od sličnih proizvoda, no veće su i nisu iz Kine. Boje idu na svaki pojas. Siguran odabir!

Does the job but why not buy strap locks instead?
The title says it all. Strap locks allow the strap to rotate and detach. A set of Harley Benton locks cost the same as these (albeit only for 1 strap), so I really struggle to justify buying these in hindsight.
It's not a bad product, probably as good as it can be, but strap locks are just better.

Does what it's supposed to!
Simple rubber washers, they work well, blocking the strap even with some movement. If you don't move very aggressively, these will do fine :)

Very useful accessory
My strap kept falling off before, but since I've bought this strap locks it hasn't happened even once.
Though they are getting a little softer, I am hoping this won't be a problem. But anyways, for this price, you really can't complain !

Saves on buyiing beer bottles!
These are fine, if you don't do acrobatics whilst wielding 4kg of mahogany around your neck. If you do like throwing your guitar around you best invest in proper straplocks. These are much the same thing as the little plastic washers found on a certain brand of beer, but as i dont drink the stuff, these are great. Love 'em.

Does the job
A bit expensive for 4 rubber washers, but they do work great !
Edit 28/03/2020: Still working fine, no damage to report.
