40kN Breaking Strength in Lightweight Package

With an impressive 40kN (8,992 lb) minimum breaking strength, this aluminum snap hook delivers professional-grade performance that rivals many steel connectors—but at a fraction of the weight. At just 4.4 oz, it's one of the strongest aluminum snap hooks available in its weight class. This exceptional strength-to-weight ratio makes it ideal for applications where every ounce matters, from alpine climbing to big wall expeditions to lightweight rescue systems.

Proof Tested for Quality Assurance

Each snap hook is individually proof tested to 9,000 lbs during manufacturing, ensuring it meets rigorous quality standards before it reaches you. This proof testing verifies the structural integrity and performance of every single unit, providing an extra level of confidence that your equipment will perform when it matters most. The proof testing process is a mark of professional-grade quality control.

Forged Aluminum Advantage

Forged aluminum construction provides the perfect balance of strength and weight 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 loads while maintaining its ultra-lightweight profile, making it ideal for weight-conscious climbers, rescue professionals, and arborists.

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, rescue, 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.

Black Anodized Finish

The black anodized finish serves multiple purposes: it provides excellent corrosion resistance to protect the aluminum from oxidation and wear, creates a durable surface that resists scratching and abrasion, and offers a professional, low-profile appearance. The protective coating guards against rust, moisture, and environmental exposure, ensuring long-term reliability in outdoor and demanding conditions.

Ultra-Lightweight Performance

Weighing just 4.4 oz (0.28 lbs), this aluminum snap hook is a game-changer for weight-conscious applications. For climbers carrying gear up a route, arborists working in trees all day, or rescue teams building lightweight systems, the weight savings make a real difference in reducing fatigue and increasing efficiency. Multiple aluminum snap hooks can replace heavier steel connectors without compromising on strength, dramatically reducing overall system weight.

Compact and Efficient

The streamlined design minimizes bulk while maintaining exceptional 40kN strength. The compact profile makes it easy to clip to your harness, pack in your gear bag, or integrate into rigging systems without adding unnecessary size or weight. The efficient design ensures smooth operation and reliable performance in all conditions.

Professional Quality You Can Trust

Whether you're a climber tackling big walls, a rescue professional performing technical operations, or an arborist working at height, this forged aluminum snap hook delivers the reliability and performance you need. The combination of 40kN strength, proof testing, double-locking gate, and ultra-lightweight design makes it a trusted choice for professionals who demand the best.

Important Safety Information: This aluminum snap hook is designed for climbing, rigging, and rescue applications and must be used in accordance with manufacturer instructions and applicable safety standards. Always inspect before each use for wear, damage, cracks, or deformation. Aluminum connectors can be damaged by sharp edges or excessive loads—inspect carefully after any impact or unusual loading. Retire from service if any damage is observed. Ensure proper training in climbing and rigging systems before use.
