Designed to connect things together, nothing is more versatile than a snap hook(aka Carbine Hook). From securing heavy marine equipment to snapping on a pet leash, these clips and hooks can be invaluable. Snap hooks are simply designed which makes them very versatile. Choose from din5299c, with eyelet or screw, and snap hook oval or pear shapes, available in a variety of sizes. Some snap hooks have a smaller eye at one end; this narrow opening creates a more secure area for whatever is threaded through. S-hooks are a quick, easy and safe way to connect chains from the towed vehicle to the towing vehicle.
While carabiner spring hooks can be used for a variety of applications, it's extremely important to check the load limit of the clip or hook to ensure it will work for your intended use. As with all equipment with stated load limits, these strength limits are based on proper use; improper use will decrease strength.
Snap hooks can generally be divided into three classes, the first is for climbing and fall protection, the second is for loads and the third is for non-loads. We offer a second class of load-rated snap hooks which are rated for loads but are not used for climbing and fall protection and are typically used for non-critical suspension applications such as marine and fishing components. You must ensure that you choose the correct grade for your application.
We also offer a third class of non-load-rated snap hooks, which are typically used for key fobs, but these are rare and those who come to us for purchase are generally buying load-rated snap hooks.
