Stainless Steel Snap Shackles – what to choose?

A snap shackle lets you disconnect under tension: pull the ring and the spring-loaded pin releases, even with a dog or a sail pulling. A fixed eye is compact and does not turn. A swivel eye turns, so line or webbing does not twist: square for flat webbing, round for rope. For salt water, choose the Kong® in AISI 316 stainless steel.

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.
