What Are Trigger Snaps?
Trigger snaps are snap hooks operated by a spring-loaded trigger mechanism that allows fast attachment and release. This design makes them ideal for applications where frequent connection and disconnection is required without compromising security.
Many trigger snap hooks are produced as swivel trigger snap hooks, allowing rotation at the attachment point. This swivel function reduces strap twisting and improves durability in moving or load-shifting applications.
