Sea-Dog 316 Stainless Snap Hook w/ Eye | 151605-1
Sea-Dog 316 Stainless Snap Hook w/ Eye | 151605-1 — Product description
This is the Sea-Dog 316 stainless snap hook, the little piece of rigging you clip on and forget about. Spring-loaded interlocking gate, gourd-shaped body, and an eye insert to tie or shackle onto. Rated at 2000 pounds and built from 316 stainless, so it shrugs off saltwater year after year.
The Sea-Dog snap hook is one of those small parts that earns its keep. It's a 3-15/16 inch stainless hook with a spring-loaded interlocking gate, so it clips onto a ring, thimble, or padeye with one hand and won't shake loose. The gourd shape gives the gate a clean throw and a 1/2 inch opening, which is plenty for most line and hardware.
What makes it worth the money is the metal. It's 316 stainless, the marine grade, so it holds up to salt spray and washdowns without streaking rust down your deck. The eye insert on the end lets you splice, tie, or shackle a line straight to it. Rated at 2000 pounds, it's fine for flag halyards, safety lines, fender whips, and general rigging around the boat.
It's not a lifting hook and it isn't load-rated for overhead work, so keep it to the jobs it's meant for. For everyday clip-and-go around the deck, it's exactly right.

Frequently asked questions
What is the snap hook made of?
316 stainless steel, the marine grade. It resists salt corrosion far better than plated or lower-grade steel, so it's a good fit for saltwater boats.
How much weight will it hold?
It's rated at 2000 pounds. That's plenty for flag halyards, safety lines, and general rigging. It isn't a lifting or overhead hook, so don't use it for that.
How does the gate work?
It's a spring-loaded interlocking gate with a 1/2 inch opening. Push it open, clip onto your ring or padeye, and it snaps shut on its own.
Can I tie a line to it?
Yep. There's an eye insert on the end with a 7/16 inch diameter, so you can splice, tie, or shackle a line straight to the hook.
