What is this kind of buckle called, and where to get it?

Recommended Posts

 I need some high(er) quality things, snap shackles, whatever they are called, and it must be my old age but I just can't think of what these things are called.  Snap shackles brings up a different kettle of fish than what I'm looking for, but if you folks could help me with what this is called, it sure would be easier to search for it...

Batz Corp calls them safety hooks. Not sure if you need the exact shape shown in your picture. https://products.batzusa.com/category/safety-hooks

Try searching for swivel hooks, swivel snaps and or swivel snap hooks.

Thanks, but those look too industrial... I'm looking for something really nice looking, refined, that could be used on a purse strap for example.  Something that's not just a run of the mill snap.

Thank you!  Swivel snap hook seems to be the best search term.  I've been through the dozen Amazon pages using that search term and still didn't find anything as attractive as the one I pictured.  I guess I'll have to try eBay, Etsy or maybe even Aliexpress.

Thank you (again!).  But I'm looking for nicer ones, like the one in my photo, and smaller size... these are for 1.5" straps and I need ideally 1/2" or possibly 5/8".  3/4" is already larger than I want.

If you scroll down the page here, you'll see a better view of the clip I want.  It's an animated photo so I couldn't get a screen shot.  Probably no more functional than any other, but I think they look darn cool and would love to use them on some of my projects.

I think these are probably a specialty clip that is produced solely by or for Sleepypod as the clip has sleepypod molded into the face of the clip. You could try and order one from Sleepypod in the size you would like.

Maybe  search " swivel carabiners "   Don't know if this is what you are looking for but it's 1/2 strap slot .

Never seen one like it, but I'll give you my opinion: Whereas the snap looks to be nice solid quality for a cat harness, I wouldn't call it "refined" or think it suitable for a purse with its orange mobile part. 

Btw, try "swivel carabiner" as a search term... The part looks similar to what mountain climbers use, only smalller.

That's really nice... pretty much exactly what I'd like.  But unfortunately that appears to be a manufacturer and since I only need a small handful of them, (less than a dozen would last me a good long while) it's unlikely they would sell to me.  But I will contact them just in case.  How on earth did you find them?

Thank you!

Hi Klara,

I probably shouldn't admit this, but since I have 4 cats (without which I may not have survived the several Covid lockdowns we went through) it is exactly for cat leashes that I wanted to get these snap hooks.  You are right that these are probably not suitable for nice purses and bags, but I have other styles which I do use for bags and purses but I really like the look of these and wanted to get some.  And according to the website @Gezzer linked to, other colors are available also.

Cheers!

It would be worth a try to contact them ..... even if they will not sell to you , they should be able to put you in touch with a retailer .

 

Pure hard headedness  :lol:   luck !
