I am looking for a steel version of the buckle in the link. I need one with the teeth at both sides, does anyone know where i can get one (Second buckle in video)

Weirdly hard to locate. There's one or two on ebay and amazon, but they look like pretty flimsy pot metal.

Found this company: https://www.ebay.com/i/232265753659?chn=ps
They are insanely expensive but look indestructible.

There's a lot more options in the plastic. Search "military grade" if your concern is durability.

Are these adjustable in the same regard as the one i posted, i thought a steel version of the buckle i am looking for would be easy to locate

Yes- ^ If you read the the description and look at the pictures - it looks like you can tighten it from both sides and don't have to sew.

Just a theory: I think most dual- sided buckles are for backpacks- so generally the idea is to keep the weight down and use a material that doesn't corrode if it gets wet.- hence all plastic.

It does seem like they should be easier to locate, but most of the metal ones seem to be purely decorative - for sewing and craft projects.

I've never seen a metal one ever. Made for waist buckles on Backpacks and Waist packs that's it.

If you can give up on the requirement for adjustability on both sides, there are lots of options. Look for tactical belts.

I've also seen that connector sold separately. You could buy two of them, sew the two single bar parts back-to-back with a very short piece of webbing, and have an adjustable parts clipping from either end onto that short piece. Not ideal, but could work.

You could do the same thing with this.
