A brief description of our range of steel carbine hooks, quick links and clamps for use with 6-12mm elastic shock cord

Carbine Hooks

Carbine hooks (also called "Snap Hooks") provide a highly convenient and very strong end-termination for elastic shock cord. They feature a spring loaded gate which allows them to be quickly and securely attached to a wide range of fixing points. For attachment instructions, please see our Joining and Fixing page.

Cord Clamps

 

Cord clamps are of two-piece, zinc-plated, mild steel construction. The two lengths of cord to be joined are slipped between the two halves of the clamp which are then tightened together using the nuts provided to make an extremely strong union. They are adjustable and re-useable.
