About our Swivel Snap Hooks range
Swivel snap hooks combine a spring-loaded snap gate with a rotating swivel neck, allowing the connection to turn freely in any direction without transmitting twist into the rope, chain, or strap it's attached to. At the DIY Hardware Store, our swivel snap hooks and swivel clip hooks cover the sizes used for dog leads, harness connections, load securing, sailing rigging, and general quick-release connecting applications where rotation at the connection point is needed.
The swivel section between the hook and the attachment ring allows the hook to rotate through 360 degrees under load - preventing the twist that builds up in a fixed hook connection when the load rotates or swings during use. This makes swivel snap hooks the correct choice for dog leads (where the dog's movement generates continuous rotation), for block-and-tackle rigging where the load can spin, and for any application where a standard fixed hook would create a twisted, tangled line over time.
Available in zinc alloy, steel, and stainless steel in a range of gate opening widths and load ratings at the DIY Hardware Store.
