Bag Strap Clips – what to choose?

Most of these bag strap clips are die-cast zinc alloy snap hooks with an eye that swivels a full 360°, so a shoulder strap, cord or chain hangs straight instead of twisting as the bag moves. You'll find them on handbags, clutches, totes, backpacks, briefcases, pouches and keychains.

Round or square eye. A round eye (oval or teardrop in practice) takes cord, rope, chain, round leather or a narrow strap. A square eye has a straight bar, so a flat leather strap or webbing lies flat across its full width. Match the eye to the strap: a 20 mm strap goes into a 20 mm eye.

Reading the name. In 50 mm/30Q, the first number is the overall length of the snap hook, the number after the slash is the inside width of the eye, and Q marks a square eye. No Q means a round eye.

Gate and finish. Most sizes close with a spring-loaded lever gate; the 34 mm and 62–63 mm snaps have a bolt you pull back with your thumb. The body is always zinc alloy. Chrome, brass, antique brass and gold-tone are thin finishes over it, so the gold-tone ones aren't solid gold and the brass ones aren't solid brass; matte black is a baked-on coating.

Not for leashes. Zinc alloy keeps these snaps light and easy to shape. A dog pulling on a leash is a different job, and that one belongs to our dog lead clips.

Two snaps here work differently. The fixed-eye steel snap hook is bent from sheet steel and has no swivel: it costs less than a zinc swivel snap of the same size and suits straps that shouldn't turn. The Simplex hook is a single bent strip of nickel-plated steel with no moving parts, sized for keychains, lanyards, tags and light pouches.

Parameter guide

What the parameters mean and how to choose the right values.

The dimension of the whole piece, end to end. It tells you how much room the fitting takes on the finished item; whether it fits the webbing depends on the eye width. The whole piece is measured, not just its working part, so two pieces with the same eye width can differ in length.

Inner width of the eye – determines the maximum width of material you can thread through. Choose an eye the same width or slightly wider than your strap, rope or leather lace.

Gate opening indicates how wide the gate opens. It determines the maximum diameter of the ring or D-ring it can clip onto.

Round: A universal shape – suitable for ropes, round laces and soft straps that easily conform to the eye shape.
Square: Better suited to flat and stiffer materials (waterproof webbing, leather belts) that would bunch or fold in a round eye.
Fixed (round or square): The eye is a solid part of the snap body and does not swivel, so the snap stays in line with the strap.
