Difference between a lever, PAL and prong weight belt buckle?

We often get asked what the difference between our weight belt buckles are. Here’s a quick breakdown:
Prong Buckle: prong goes through a hole in the opposite end of the belt and the belt tongue goes into a belt loop. Can be either rounded tongue or tapered tongue on opposite end of the buckle. Can either be single prong or double prong – both set at 1” increments. Can also be Pioneer Cut which is a single prong at ½” increment hole spacing. A prong buckle is fixed. Can not move. Example: your everyday jeans belt is most likely a prong belt.
Lever Buckle: is a mechanism you screw on to the belt with two screws on one end of the belt and on the opposite end there are 4 holes in which you hook the lever to. The lever is adjustable, however you have to remove the screws, reset in a different place and reattach the screws. The spacing is in 1” increments.
PAL “Pioneer Adjustable Lever”: is a mechanism you screw on the belt with two screws on one end of the belt and on the opposite end you screw a plate on to the belt with 4 screws. Once you have the PAL fixed to the belt, you hook it to the teeth in the plate. These “teeth” are set at 1/2” increments. You can move it up to 2” per setting.
