I would be curious if anyone has experience with one vs. the other. Might as well use the technique that wears the best (I have 2 large dogs, a messy husband, and a 3 year old son--soon to be 2 sons...)
I would think both are equally durable. The locker hook was used as I understand it in Austrailia. They used wool, then started using carded wool. (for those who could go out and shear the sheep!) I would think the 'hard' part is getting the locker hook. I haven't seen them in my local Hobby Lobby, I'll check Michaels, but I doubt it.
thanks for anyone with advice...
