- What is the swivel for?
- The lower joint rotates, so a lanyard or strap can spin freely instead of kinking. That matters most on badge reels and dog leads, where a fixed hook twists the webbing.
- What size strap fits the eye?
- The eye measures about 10x7mm, so it takes cord, thin webbing or split rings up to roughly that width. Wider straps will not pass through.
- Is it strong enough for keys and tools?
- It handles keys, badges and small pouches. It is cast alloy with a spring gate, so it is not meant for climbing, pet tie-outs or anything that could fail dangerously.
- How does it compare with a plain snap hook?
- A plain snap hook is cheaper and simpler but does not rotate. This one adds the swivel, which is worth it wherever the strap would otherwise twist.
- What is in the box?
- The clasps themselves, in the gunmetal finish. Check the quantity on the listing before ordering, since these are sold as hardware pieces, not as a kit with rings or straps.
