Our acetal swivel snaphooks are great for all kinds of antenna work and have a multitude of other uses around the house and shop. Buy a bunch and keep them onhand for your next project!   

These are what we use in the manufacture of all our wire antennas and support hardware, mast guy assemblies, etc., even those built for our very demanding goverment and military customers! Acetal is a crystalline thermoplastic polymer with excellent tensile strength, stiffness, surface hardness, chemical and UV resistance. It has excellent flexural memory and property retention when subjected to repeated loading. Its temperature range of -40°F to +270°F (-40°C to +132°C) covers just about anything to be encountered on planet earth! Acetal is recommended for high performance applications. Its Physical properties remain consistent across a wide range of temperature, relative humidity, and weather conditions. We use it a lot for many parts we used to make from aluminum alloys. Its a lot less expensive than aluminum, lighter in weight, easier to machine too! It doesn't have to be protected by coatings like anodizing; which is very expensive and has a limited life.

These snaphooks have a built in swivel; allowing them to turn to avoid tangles in wire antenna elements and support lines. They won't rust or corrode like many metal parts do and they are just the right size for use in combination with our other available antenna hardware and .125 inch (3.14mm) double-braided guy rope. Like everything we build and sell; these are covered by our "no non-sense" 1 Year Warranty and may be returned for full credit, minus shipping costs, if you are dissatisfied in any way!
