Shonan.Systems SHONAN Stainless Steel Chain Quick Links, Locking Carabiners, Carabiner Clips, Safety Chain Hooks, Twist Key Ring Screw Chain Link 2.3 Inch, 5 Pack

I recently broke two different carabiners that hold a hammock onto a tree while swing a 6yr old child. These claim 650 lb strength & I've now got one at each end of the hammock. We had a terrible wind storm & they are holding just fine. Just what I needed! Very durable for their size & the price is right. I'm glad I have a few extra.

I use them on my weight universal rack in weight and power lifting. I liked that these fasteners were smaller (about 2" in length) but held up to 800 pounds. My other fasteners were 3" and held up to 330 pounds, so these are better. They are also stainless steel and resist rust versus my others that were steel / blued and over time, they did rust. These also shortened the length the cable travels and provide about an inch more of stretch during the exercises, while adding 470 pounds of weight capacity. Also, a very reasonable price for 5. They also came in a nice plastic case for easy storage. I rate A+.

Machining is very good -- locking nuts work smoothly. They are for use on a flag hoist. The location is subject to high winds -- the conventional brass snap shackles commonly used have had a high failure rate.

I like that the clasp or link opens and shuts. It is strong and secure. I used it to replace a clasp or link on an athletic bag. The original fastener broke after 45 years. The strap had a permanent loop and the only way I could re-attach it to the bag was with a link thst would fit through the loop on the strap and attach to the loop on the bag.

Perfect for connecting two chains for an extension. Easy to use.
