About this item

  • QUICK RELEASE. This snap hook is equipped with a spring-loaded latch for secure attachment of your safety chains to your trailer hitch and quick release as needed
  • RELIABLE STRENGTH. With high-strength steel construction, this safety hook is rated for 5,000 lbs. gross trailer weight
  • READY TO TOW. Trailer safety chain hooks are easy to install. Simply loop the hook onto the end of the safety chain and connect the hook to the trailer hitch loop before towing
  • VERSATILE. Safety chain hooks are great for a wide variety of uses, beyond towing. This 9/16-inch diameter snap hook can be used to attach cargo straps or ropes or as a hand winch attachment hook for a quick connection
  • CORROSION-RESISTANT. To promote long-lasting use and dependable safety, this carabiner safety chain hook is finished with a durable zinc plating. It resists rain, dirt, snow, mud and other corrosive elements


There are always some factors on the road you cannot control -- an irresponsible driver, adverse weather conditions -- but one thing you can control is the type of towing equipment you use. Just because there are threats out there, doesn't mean your towing adventures need to be dangerous. CURT offers a variety of towing safety products -- including safety chains, safety cables, hooks, links and more -- to make sure you have confidence to Bring It and trustworthy equipment to Bring It safely. CURT snap hooks are a highly secure way to connect your safety chains from your trailer to your tow vehicle. They feature a spring-loaded safety latch that turns the hook into a closed loop. Similar to a quick link, the safety latch allows for a safety chain connection that won't come loose from vehicle vibrations or jarring on uneven terrain. Snap hooks also feature a strong steel construction and come with a zinc-plated finish to outlast the elements. This particular snap hook has a 9/16" diameter and offers a gross trailer weight capacity of 5,000 lbs. Remember, when attaching safety chains, the chains should be cross underneath the trailer coupler, and each hook and chain must be rated to meet or exceed the gross weight of the trailer.

This looks tough! IF it's as strong as it looks then it's a steal at this price.

It's a pretty simple device that is pretty easy to use. I've not had problems with mine.

The description says that it measures "8 x 4 x 1 inches". However, the 8" includes the packaging.The actual latch is only about 4 - 4.5" inches long. If that length is suitable for you, this looks like a nice beefy latch that would do the trick.
