Stainless Steel Snap Shackles — what to choose?

Stainless steel snap shackles are used in yachting, construction, theater and film. They are reliable fasteners with a high load capacity. They have a safety pin that is secured by a cotter pin or spring mechanism. Cotter pins are safer but slower to manipulate, while the spring mechanism allows for quicker use.

Parameter guide

What the parameters of stainless steel snap shackles mean and how to choose the right values.

Inner width of the snap hook 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 snap hook opens. It determines the maximum diameter of the ring or D-ring the hook can clip onto.

Round: A universal shape – suitable for ropes, round laces and soft straps that easily conform to the eye shape.
Square: Ideal for flat and stiffer materials (waterproof webbing, leather belts) that would bunch or fold in a round eye.
