It can be used for a variety of applications, from farming projects to industrial tie downs. It is designed with a twisted shape in order to help prevent your strap from twisting around the load and instead lay flat against the cargo, keeping the strap from wearing down and losing much of its strength. This Twisted Snap Hook is manufactured from heat-treated carbon steel to give it the strength it needs to get different tie down jobs done easily and effectively. We've also coated the 45mm Snap Hook in a zinc plated finish to increase its durability against corrosion.
