ANSI Certification with Aluminum Advantage

This snap hook combines the best of both worlds: ANSI certification for professional-grade performance and aluminum construction for significant weight savings. With a 23kN (5,171 lb) minimum breaking strength, it delivers the strength required for professional applications while weighing just 0.67 lbs—significantly lighter than comparable steel snap hooks. This makes it ideal for applications where you need certified performance without the weight penalty of steel.

Forged Aluminum Strength

Forged aluminum construction provides exceptional strength-to-weight ratio for professional applications. The forging process creates a refined grain structure that makes the snap hook significantly stronger and more durable than cast aluminum alternatives. This superior construction method ensures the snap hook can handle serious 23kN loads while maintaining its lightweight profile, making it ideal for climbers, arborists, and riggers who need professional strength without excessive weight.

Double-Locking Gate Security

The double-locking gate mechanism provides maximum security in critical applications. Opening the gate requires two separate, deliberate actions, virtually eliminating the risk of accidental opening during use. Once closed, the gate automatically locks without manual intervention, ensuring you're always protected. This combination of features makes it ideal for climbing, rigging, and professional work environments where equipment failure is not an option.

Fixed Eye Design

The fixed eye design provides a solid, non-rotating connection point that's ideal for applications where you need a stable attachment. Unlike swivel eyes that rotate freely, the fixed eye maintains a consistent orientation, making it perfect for connecting to harness D-rings, lanyard ends, and anchor points where rotation isn't needed. The fixed eye also eliminates moving parts that could wear or fail, providing maximum reliability.

23kN Strength in Lightweight Package

With a 23kN (5,171 lb) minimum breaking strength, this aluminum snap hook delivers professional-grade performance suitable for demanding climbing, rigging, and industrial applications. At just 0.67 lbs (10.7 oz), it provides excellent strength without the weight penalty of steel connectors. This exceptional strength-to-weight ratio makes it ideal for applications where every ounce matters while still requiring ANSI-certified performance.

Lightweight Performance for All-Day Use

Weighing just 0.67 lbs (10.7 oz), this aluminum snap hook is ideal for applications where weight matters. Whether you're climbing a multi-pitch route, working in trees all day, or building lightweight rigging systems, the weight savings reduce fatigue and increase efficiency. Multiple aluminum snap hooks can replace heavier steel connectors without compromising on certified strength, dramatically reducing overall system weight.

Corrosion-Resistant Finish

The anodized finish provides excellent protection against corrosion, making this snap hook suitable for outdoor use in various weather conditions. Whether you're climbing in humid environments, working in trees exposed to moisture, or using it in challenging industrial conditions, the corrosion-resistant finish ensures long-term reliability and performance.

Professional Quality with Weight Savings

Whether you're a climber, arborist, rescue professional, or industrial rigger, this forged aluminum snap hook delivers the reliability and ANSI-certified performance you need without the weight of steel alternatives. The combination of 23kN strength, double-locking gate, ANSI certification, and lightweight aluminum construction makes it a trusted choice for professionals who demand certified performance with reduced weight.

Compact and Efficient

The streamlined design minimizes bulk while maintaining 23kN strength and ANSI certification. The efficient design ensures smooth operation and reliable performance in all conditions, making it easy to integrate into climbing systems, rigging setups, or safety equipment.
