Sea-Dog Galvanized Spring-Gate Snap, 1/2in Opening
Sea-Dog Galvanized Spring-Gate Snap, 1/2in Opening — Product description
This is Sea-Dog's spring-gate snap, a simple oval link in electro-galvanized mild steel that you clip and go. The spring-loaded gate snaps shut on its own, so there's no threading or screwing when your hands are cold and wet. It's 3-1/2 inches long with a 1/2-inch gate opening, rated to a 12,100 lb capacity.
Sometimes you just need a snap that works and gets out of the way. This Sea-Dog spring-gate snap does exactly that. The oval body is formed from electro-galvanized mild steel, so it shrugs off splash and spray on deck, in the bilge, or wherever you're clipping gear.
The gate is spring-loaded and interlocking. Push a line, ring, or shackle through and it snaps closed on its own. No threading, no screw collar to fumble with when your hands are cold. That makes it handy for tasks you do over and over, like hanging fenders, securing a gear bag, or holding a hatch open.
It measures 3-1/2 inches long with a 1/2-inch gate opening, and it carries a 12,100 lb capacity rating. We'd treat that as the steel's strength figure, not a safe working load, so give yourself a wide safety margin on anything that matters and don't use it for lifting people or critical loads. For light rigging and everyday deck chores, it's a solid, inexpensive choice.

Frequently asked questions
What is this snap made of?
Electro-galvanized mild steel. The zinc coating helps it stand up to splash and spray in typical topside and general rigging use.
How does the gate work?
It's a spring-loaded interlocking gate. You push your line, ring, or shackle against it and it snaps closed on its own, so there's nothing to screw or thread.
What size is it?
It's 3-1/2 inches long with a 1/2-inch gate opening. That opening is what limits the diameter of the line or hardware you can clip into it.
What does the 12,100 lb capacity mean?
That's the capacity rating Sea-Dog lists for the steel body. We'd treat it as a strength figure rather than a safe working load, so keep a wide safety margin and don't use it for lifting people or critical loads.
