Collection: Hooks

Snap hooks and carabiners for leads and collars

The snap hooks and carabiners here are the parts from which leads and collars are made and repaired. Most are made by Herm Sprenger, a family firm from Iserlohn, Germany, founded in 1872; the collection also includes the Dingo wire carabiner and professional carabiner. All the assembly parts are gathered in Sprenger assembly accessories.

Types and materials

You'll find scissor snap hooks and carabiners, spring hooks, plain hooks, quick hooks (snap shackle) with a fixed eye or swivel, a hook with a holder and quick-release carabiners for hunting. The materials are stainless steel, black stainless steel, chrome-plated steel, nickel-plated steel, polished brass, aluminium and nickel-plated die-cast zinc. On many models the size is given in the title, from 13 mm to 102 mm.

How to choose

The simplest way is to compare with the part you're replacing: the type of closure, the material and the size. If you want all the parts to look the same, choose the same material for rings and buckles too. If you're not sure which hook fits, write to us and we'll help.
