What is Spring Snap Hook?

2021-11-22

Snap hooks, often called spring snap links or spring hooks, are self-closing/self-locking connectors that feature a gate that "opens" into the throat of the hook. The gate is secured with a pin that springs back into place when released to provide a quick connection for rigging, coupling, or anchoring. Available in corrosion resistant zinc plated carbon steel or polished stainless steel, snap hooks provide a quick, secure connection for chain, wire, rope, and slings, but they are not intended for lifting or fall arrest.
