The snap hook is surely one of the most important devices when walking a dog. This small metal item acts as a fastening element to connect a leash and a collar. There are several different types of snap hooks according to their design:
– A spring snap hook is the most common type of carabines, which is made as a clip with a spring-loaded gate design (a sliding piece on the side) that closes and opens by pushing it in. It may also have an additional screw sleeve to prevent unintentional opening.
– A snap hook swivel is another hardware option, designed with a movable tab that retracts inwards when pressed. This is by far the most popular snap for dog leashes. It comes in a variety of material options and sizes. It is suitable for dog leashes for small dog breeds, great for walking, but not for securing animals in outdoor aviaries.
– A fixed-eye snap hook is a device that has an eye-opener that does not move or rotate. This snap hook heavy duty has a low breaking load and is, therefore, suitable for large dog leashes or leashes marketed for dogs that pull.
