Carabiner-style snap hook that securely connects your trailer's safety chains to your tow vehicle, with a spring-loaded latch that closes the hook into a loop to resist coming loose over rough terrain.
There are always some factors on the road you can't control — an irresponsible driver, adverse weather conditions — but one thing you can control is the type of towing equipment you use. Curt snap hooks are a highly secure way to connect your safety chains from your trailer to your tow vehicle.
This snap hook features a spring-loaded safety latch that turns the hook into a closed loop, similar in function to a quick link. That latch keeps the safety chain connection from coming loose due to vehicle vibrations or jarring on uneven terrain. It's built from strong steel with a zinc-plated finish to outlast the elements, offers a 3/8" diameter, and carries a gross trailer weight capacity of 2,000 lbs. Beyond towing, it's also handy for winch straps and other quick-connect applications.

This is a snap hook / carabiner-style clip, distinct from Curt's traditional S-hook shape. If a classic open S-hook design is specifically needed, Curt's part 81260 (without a latch) or 81810 (S-hook shape with a safety latch) may be a better match — confirm the exact hook shape needed before ordering. Part Number: 81261 | Diameter: 3/8"
When attaching safety chains, always cross them beneath the trailer coupler, and make sure each hook and chain is rated to meet or exceed the gross trailer weight of your trailer.
