Product description
Introducing a better way to attach a snubber to your chain rode. Our latest innovation is the chain hook that closes around the chain link. This design gives sufficient strength in the smallest package possible, so that it can fit easily through most bow rollers and is easy to put on and remove.

- The M3 Hook is made from 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel designed to survive in a harsh marine environment and is still the strongest chain hook on the market.
- Ideal for use with a snubber or a bridle.
- Fits BBB, Proofcoil, Hi Test and Stainless Chain.
- Available for 1/4 inch / 6mm, 5/16 inch/ 8mm, 3/8 inch/10mm, 1/2 inch/12mm , 5/8 inch chain/ 14mm.
