MIDWEST FASTENER CORP 36668 Brass Swivel Bolt Snap Hooks 2PK hardware

Brass Swivel Bolt Snap Hooks 2PK

This pack contains two brass swivel bolt snap hooks supplied by Midwest Fastener Corp. They are intended for general hardware tasks such as securing light loads, connecting chains or attaching ropes where a rotating connection helps prevent twisting. The brass construction resists corrosion in outdoor or damp environments. DIY users, boaters and light-industrial workers will find them a convenient fastening option.

Practical Limits of the Swivel Mechanism

The swivel eye rotates freely to reduce rope or chain kinking during use. Brass is softer than steel, so the hooks are not rated for heavy lifting or dynamic shock loads. The bolt-style closure requires manual threading, which is slower than a spring snap but less likely to open accidentally. Users should verify that the working load of the attached rope or chain does not exceed the hook's unstated capacity.

Build Quality and Daily Use

Solid brass bodies and bolts provide good resistance to rust and salt spray, making the hooks suitable for marine or outdoor storage. The smooth finish reduces wear on connected lines over repeated attachment cycles. Two hooks per pack allow symmetrical rigging or a spare for replacement. California Proposition 65 warnings indicate the presence of chemicals linked to cancer and reproductive harm, so handling with gloves and washing hands after installation is prudent.
