Stainless Steel Rigging Hardware
Stainless Steel Hooks & Snaps
12 products
This range covers stainless steel hooks and snaps for marine, outdoor and general rigging hardware: carabine hooks with and without eyelets, a double-end hook, stamped and lost-wax cast spring hooks, spring snaps, trigger snaps, swivel and rigid eye snaps, and an eye hook with latch. All twelve items are made in AISI 316 stainless steel, the grade normally chosen for salt-water exposure because its molybdenum content improves resistance to chloride pitting. Each product page lists the full size table from the drawing. These are general-purpose connectors without published load ratings; they are not PPE connectors or lifting hooks, which must be designed, tested and marked to their own standards. Power Honour can supply the range under a private label and can modify sizes, gates or eyes to a customer drawing.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between a carabine hook, a spring snap and a trigger snap?
- A carabine hook has an elongated body with a spring-loaded gate along one side and comes in the widest size range. Spring snaps are compact clips for small rings, cords and covers. A trigger snap opens when a thumb trigger is pulled back, which makes one-handed attachment and release easy on leads, halyards and straps.
- Why 316 rather than 304 stainless steel for marine hooks?
- Grade 316 contains 2 to 3 % molybdenum, which improves resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride environments such as sea water and salt spray. Grade 304 performs well indoors and in many outdoor settings but is more prone to surface staining and pitting near the coast. Every hook in this range is made in 316.
- Can these hooks be used for lifting or fall protection?
- No. These hooks carry no published working load limit or breaking load, and they are not designed, tested or marked as lifting hooks or PPE connectors. Hooks for overhead lifting and fall arrest must meet their own standards and carry the required markings, so buyers needing rated components should specify a separate, rated product.
- What is the difference between a swivel eye snap and a rigid eye snap?
- A swivel eye lets the attached rope or strap rotate, which stops twist building up in flag halyards, leads and other lines that turn in use. A rigid (fixed) eye is shorter and simpler: at the 5/8 in. size the rigid SS249 is 72 mm long against 83 mm for the swivel SS251. Choose the swivel where the line turns and the rigid eye where length or simplicity matters.
- Stamped or lost-wax cast spring hooks: which should I specify?
- Both are listed with the same dimensions, as SS2431 (stamped) and SS2430 (lost-wax cast). Stamping suits repeatable, high-volume production, while investment casting gives rounded, three-dimensional sections and finer detail. Appearance, finish requirements and order volume usually decide the choice.
- What should an RFQ for stainless hooks include?
- State the product code and size from the table, the quantity per size, the required finish, and any marking, packaging or private-label requirements. If the hook must fit a particular ring, rope or webbing, give that dimension as well. For modified designs, a drawing or sample speeds up quoting.

Hot forging vs cold forging comes down to forming above or below the recrystallisation temperature, and that choice drives tolerance, strength, tooling cost and part size. Here is how to choose for forged safety hardware.
