You are here: Pet Hardware Snap Hooks Swedish Snap Hooks Swedish snap hook 61 mm/20Q – Black
Sometimes you need the confidence that the connection between the leash and harness simply holds – yet can still be released without a struggle, even when it’s freezing and your fingers refuse to cooperate. A Swedish-type snap hook handles that with ease. Its steel construction made from riveted components stands up to moisture, dirt and serious pulling force, while the mechanism remains reliable even in sub-zero conditions.
And a few honest notes: Steel is heavier than aluminium or plastic, so the snap hook may jingle in motion. The surface finish (especially matte black) will pick up scratches over time from sand and small stones. On the other hand, with occasional cleaning and a spray of #WD-40/450, the mechanism will keep running smoothly for years.
The mechanism of the Swedish snap hook is designed so that nothing can jam in it. It is easy to handle even in gloves, when sand or snow gets into it. When I choose a snap hook, I go by the shape of the eye: for a rope leash I take a round eye, for webbing a square loop, where the webbing lies flat, does not bunch and the pull is spread evenly.
Now and then I blow the dust out of the snap hook and lightly lubricate the mechanism with metal grease. The black version shows scratches from stones more easily, so for rough terrain I reach for the classic zinc plating.
