Stainless steel carabiner

Always useful for hanging a load or keeping a stay, canvas or tarp under tension, the snap hook is an essential piece of hardware. It is as effective on ships – whether sea or river navigation – as it is in everyday life in the garden.

Using a snap hook on a boat

La Corderie Gautier offers a wide selection of 316 marine grade stainless steel snap hooks (or A4 stainless steel): screw-gate snap hooks, trigger snap hooks, with or without swivel.

316 stainless steel, also known as marine grade stainless steel, offers excellent corrosion resistance. It is the ideal alloy for outdoor use and prolonged use in a saline environment. By choosing this, you ensure that your boat's rigging is high-quality and durable, guaranteeing the longevity of your equipment and easy maintenance.

The snap hook is an easy and quick-to-use attachment system, very useful for securing a load, mooring to an anchorage, or tensioning a ship's rope.

Available in various diameters, the stainless steel eye snap hook is specially designed to pass a line through it and hold it in position. A standard model, on the other hand, will have more varied applications.

At sea or in port, you will always need to secure a load and keep a rope under tension. The stainless steel snap hook has multiple applications on board: stays, sails, ropes…

For the home and garden

It's not just at sea or on a boat that you might need a stainless steel snap hook. It also comes in handy at home and in the garden!

Tensioning a shade sail, attaching a gazebo, hanging a tarp… The snap hook is an easy and practical accessory to use for tensioning various elements on your patio or in the garden.

With different diameters and models available, you can easily attach them to anchor points such as a stainless steel eye bolt, a ring, or a deck plate.

The snap hook makes the perfect connection between a pulley and a canvas, a shade sail, or a tarp.
