Sea-Dog 316 Stainless Snap Hook, 2-3/8in 500 lb
Sea-Dog 316 Stainless Snap Hook, 2-3/8in 500 lb — Product description
The Sea-Dog interlocking snap hook is a 316 stainless steel spring-gate snap built for life on the water. It handles up to 500 pounds, measures 2-3/8 inches with a 5/16 inch eye, and the gourd shape keeps lines and rings seated once they're clipped in.
When you need a quick-connect snap that won't rust out after a season in salt air, this Sea-Dog snap hook earns its spot in the deck bag. It's machined from 316 stainless steel, the grade that holds up to saltwater far better than the cheaper 304 or plated steel snaps you'll find in a hardware store bin.
The gourd shape isn't just for looks. That wider body keeps rings, rope thimbles, and hardware seated at the bottom of the hook so nothing rides up into the gate under load. The spring-loaded interlocking gate snaps shut on its own and stays closed, which matters when you're clipping a line one-handed on a pitching deck.
At 2-3/8 inches long with a 5/16 inch eye and a 5/16 inch gate opening, it's a handy mid-size snap. Rated to 500 pounds, it covers working jobs like flag halyards, fender lines, safety tethers, canvas, and general rigging. Use it anywhere you'd want a fast, corrosion-proof connection.

Frequently asked questions
What is this snap hook made of?
316 stainless steel. It's the marine-grade alloy that resists saltwater corrosion far better than 304 stainless or plated steel, so it holds up through seasons of exposure on deck.
How much weight can it hold?
It's rated to 500 pounds. That covers typical jobs like flag halyards, fender lines, canvas, and general rigging. As with any snap, keep working loads well under the rated capacity on safety-critical connections.
What size is this snap?
The hook is 2-3/8 inches long with a 5/16 inch eye diameter and a 5/16 inch gate opening.
What does the gourd shape do?
The wider gourd body keeps rings, thimbles, and hardware seated at the bottom of the hook, away from the gate, so the connection stays secure under load.
