Snap hooks - a must have product
Hooks are items that will help us to function. They are small and easy to use. They do not take up much space. We just need them. Why? They will serve us in virtually every area of life.
Snap hook vs carabiner - what is it actually?
A carabiner is the basis of climbing equipment. It has the shape of an elongated metal ring with an opening lock on one of the sides. Used to quickly connect two elements. The name comes from the lockable hook on which cavalrymen hung carabiners (from German karabinerhaken). The carabiner is usually made of aluminum and titanium alloys. Thanks to this, it weighs little and is characterized by high durability. Carabiners are most often used by backpackers, speleologists, sailors, people who fly a balloon, acrobats and employees at heights. In contrast, snap hooks are a version of the fastener for everyday use that is not intended for climbing. Carabiners are more a gadget that facilitates everyday life, e.g. as a key ring or an element replacing a broken zip.
Snap hooksTypes of snap hooks and carabiners
There are five basic types of climbing carabiners:
- oval,
- D-shaped,
- D-shaped asymmetrical,
- pear-shaped (HMS),
- hybrids.
Each carabiner is similarly built. It consists of a body, movable arm and lock. Sometimes the attached element is a lock, its task is to lock the arm in a closed position. Depending on the application, climbing carabiners have the markings:
- B (basic) – basic, universal in use,
- H (HMS) – belaying with a semi-elastic,
- X (oval) – hook climbing, speleology, rescue,
- K (klettersteig) – helpful for self-insurance,
- D (directional) – directional, used in coffee machines,
- Q (quick link) – used by speleologists.
In the case of universal carabiners, we can distinguish:
- S-shaped – carabiners resembling the letter S,
- with a rope – designed for securing bicycle luggage, backpacks, hanging tarpa, etc.,
- spring – the name refers to the closing in which the spring is,
- with a code – carabiners equipped with additional security in the form of a code,
- GrimLOC – designed to attach tactical equipment, have a solid clamp,
- D-shaped – kthe shape resembles the letter D - perfectly fits as a badge to the backpack, fits well in the belt loops,
- anchor type – enables fastening ropes without having to tie them,
- screwed – fastened with a screwed lock, durable and resistant.
