Why Choose 316 Stainless Steel?
316 stainless steel contains molybdenum, which provides enhanced resistance to chlorides and corrosive chemicals. This makes it the preferred choice for marine environments, coastal installations, and applications involving exposure to saltwater or harsh chemicals. Unlike standard stainless steel, 316 SS maintains its strength and appearance even in the most demanding conditions.
Swivel Eye Advantage:
The swivel eye design allows the shackle to rotate freely, preventing line twist and reducing wear on both the shackle and the attached rigging. This feature is especially important in dynamic applications where loads change direction or where lines are subject to rotation.
Safety and Maintenance:
Regularly inspect snap shackles for wear, corrosion, or damage to the spring mechanism. Ensure the snap gate closes and locks securely before each use. Rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure and lubricate the spring mechanism periodically with marine-grade lubricant. Never exceed the working load limit.
