Forged Aluminum Advantage

Forged aluminum construction provides the perfect balance of strength and weight for professional applications. At just 0.41 lbs (6.6 oz), this aluminum swivel snap hook weighs significantly less than comparable steel hooks while still delivering an impressive 28kN breaking strength. The forging process creates a refined grain structure that makes the snap hook stronger and more durable than cast aluminum alternatives. For climbers, arborists, and rescue professionals who carry gear all day, the weight savings make a real difference in reducing fatigue.

360-Degree Swivel Prevents Rope Twist

The integrated 360-degree swivel eye is what sets this snap hook apart from fixed-eye designs. When loads rotate or spin during climbing, hauling, or rescue operations, the swivel allows the hook to rotate freely, preventing dangerous rope twist and tangling. This is especially critical in applications where twisted ropes can reduce strength and create hazardous conditions. The swivel also reduces wear on your rope or lanyard by eliminating stress from rotation, extending the life of your equipment.

Double-Action Locking Security

The double-action 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.

28kN Breaking Strength

With a 28kN (6,294 lb) minimum breaking strength, this aluminum swivel snap hook delivers professional-grade performance. The exceptional strength rating provides confidence and safety margin for demanding climbing, rescue, and rigging applications. Despite being made from lightweight aluminum, the forged construction ensures this snap hook can handle serious loads.

Lightweight Performance for All-Day Use

Weighing just 0.41 lbs (6.6 oz), this aluminum swivel snap hook is ideal for applications where every ounce matters. Whether you're climbing a multi-pitch route, working in trees all day, or building lightweight rescue systems, the weight savings add up quickly. Multiple aluminum snap hooks can replace heavier steel connectors without compromising on functionality, reducing overall system weight and fatigue.

Why Choose a Swivel Snap Hook?

Rope twist is more than just an inconvenience—it can compromise the strength of your rope and create dangerous situations in climbing and rescue applications. The swivel eye on this snap hook automatically compensates for load rotation, keeping your rope or lanyard straight and maintaining its full strength. Whether you're rappelling, hauling gear, or performing rescue operations, the swivel ensures smooth, tangle-free operation.

Corrosion-Resistant for Outdoor Use

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 conditions, the corrosion-resistant finish ensures long-term reliability and performance.

Compact and Efficient Design

The streamlined design minimizes bulk while maintaining strength and functionality. 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.
