From my experience, the size of the swivel depended on the size of the chute lines, for the estes chutes with small twine, the little swivels work well, but on my bt-80 upscale fiesta and top-flight chute, I used a very small key ring to secure the chute to the eyelet, and it worked well, but it didn't swivel. Didnt really NEED to swivel, but would have been nicer if equipped with one.
