Sea-Dog Galvanized Steel Gourd Snap Hook 156100-1
Sea-Dog Galvanized Steel Gourd Snap Hook 156100-1 — Product description
The Sea-Dog gourd snap hook is the everyday clip you rig on and forget about. Electro-galvanized mild steel shrugs off spray, a spring-loaded interlocking gate snaps shut on its own, and the 1600 lb capacity means it's good for more than light-duty work around the boat.
This is the everyday snap hook you clip on and forget about. Sea-Dog builds it from electro-galvanized mild steel, so it shrugs off the splash, spray, and damp that eat up bare steel hardware. The gourd shape gives you a wide, easy-to-grab body, and the spring-loaded interlocking gate snaps shut on its own and holds under load.
You'll find a hundred uses for it around the boat. Flag halyards, fender lines, sail ties, gear bags, dock line keepers, a quick connection point on a bridle. The 9/16 inch eye takes standard line and most shackles, and the 1/2 inch gate opening clears a decent-sized ring or thimble. At 3-15/16 inches long it's a mid-size snap, not a tiny keychain clip and not an oversized anchor snap.
The 1600 pound capacity means it isn't just for light duty. Rinse it with fresh water after a saltwater day and it'll keep working season after season. Simple, strong, and cheap enough to keep a few in the gear bag.

Frequently asked questions
What is this snap hook made of?
Electro-galvanized mild steel. The galvanized coating resists the corrosion that eats up bare steel around the water.
How much weight can it hold?
It's rated for a 1600 pound capacity, so it handles heavy rigging and tie-down work, not just light duty.
How big is the gate opening and the eye?
The gate opens 1/2 inch and the eye diameter is 9/16 inch, which takes standard line and most shackles.
How long is it?
It's 3-15/16 inches overall, a mid-size snap that's bigger than a keychain clip but smaller than an oversized anchor snap.
Is it okay to use in saltwater?
The galvanized coating holds up well to spray and splash. For the longest life, rinse it with fresh water after a saltwater day.
