A snap hook with a screw is a type of fastening device commonly used in rigging, safety, and outdoor applications. It typically consists of a metal hook with a spring-loaded gate that can be opened to attach to ropes, chains, or straps, and then closed securely to prevent accidental disengagement. The screw feature refers to an additional locking mechanism, usually in the form of a threaded screw or bolt, which can be tightened to further secure the hook in place, providing extra safety and stability. Snap hooks with screws are versatile and reliable connectors, commonly used in activities such as boating, camping, rock climbing, and industrial rigging, where secure attachment is essential for safety.
