Sea-Dog Galvanized Steel Snap Hook 156100-1, 3/8 Inch, 1,600 lb Breaking Strength

The Sea-Dog 156100-1 is a 3/8 inch galvanized steel snap hook built for quick, secure attachment to ropes, chains, straps, and small diameter cable. It features an interlocking, spring-loaded gate snap that opens easily with one hand and locks closed to keep your line, chain, or strap connected under load. This design makes it well suited to a wide range of rigging and anchoring applications aboard a boat or around the dock, from securing fenders and dock lines to general-purpose rigging tasks.

Construction is electro-galvanized formed mild steel, which provides corrosion protection for use in marine environments. The snap hook is rated for a breaking strength of 1,600 pounds, giving it the holding capacity needed for anchoring and rigging duty beyond light-duty household hooks. It measures 3-15/16 inches in overall length with a 3/8 inch wire diameter, sized to work with small to mid-size diameter rope, chain, and strap hardware. The 156100-1 is sold as a single unit and is part of the Sea-Dog line of formed steel snap hooks offered in multiple sizes to match different rope, chain, and cable diameters.
