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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSometimes 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eElectro-galvanized mild steel construction resists corrosion from splash and spray\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring-loaded interlocking gate snaps shut on its own, no threading or screw collar to fumble with\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOval body with a 1\/2-inch gate opening fits lines, rings, and small shackles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-1\/2-inch overall length for easy one-handed clipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12,100 lb capacity rating on the galvanized steel body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Sea-Dog reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat is this snap made of?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eElectro-galvanized mild steel.
