Product Overview

What The Stainless Steel 304 Snap Hook Is

A snap hook is a quick connection that closes itself. The gate springs shut as soon as it is released, which is what makes it the right fitting for connections that are made and broken many times a day.

This is a heavy duty version. The opening is much heavier and stronger than a general purpose snap hook, which is what gives it a long service life in daily use. It is supplied in stainless steel 304 and 316, and also in steel and galvanised zinc.
