Removable Figure-Eight Connecting Links—For Lifting


Hammer the pin through the center to assemble these links. They’re also known as hammer locks and sling links. Often used to connect the legs of chain sling to a master link, these links are good for general lifting applications. All meet strict ASME safety standards for lifting.
Links for Grade 120 chain are the strongest links we offer. They are approximately 20% stronger than links for Grade 100 chain and about 35% stronger than links for Grade 80 chain. Links for Grade 100 chain are approximately 20% stronger than links for Grade 80 chain. Links for Grade 63 chain are approximately 60% as strong as links for Grade 80 chain.
Powder-coated steel links have mild corrosion resistance. Stainless steel links better resist corrosion compared to steel links.
Note: Connecting links are for vertical lifting only.

Nonremovable Figure-Eight Connecting Links—For Lifting

Once secured with the included locking pin, these links must be cut off to be removed. Also known as sling links, they’re often used to connect the legs of a chain sling to a master link. All meet strict ASME safety standards for lifting. To assemble, use a ball peen hammer to hammer the pin through the center and then insert the locking pin into the hole.
Note: Connecting links are for vertical lifting only.

Removable Triangle-Shaped Connecting Links—For Lifting


The flat side lets webbing and strapping lay flat, so they don’t slide and bunch. These links are often used to connect webbing to a master link. They meet strict ASME safety standards for lifting. To assemble, hammer the pin through the center. They’re also known as hammer locks and sling links.
Note: Connecting links are for vertical lifting only.

90° Twist Threaded Connecting Links—Not for Lifting

The twisted shape of these links prevents loads from rotating or knotting. Because they thread closed by hand or with a wrench, these links are also known as quick links. Use them to hang, pull, and secure loads. Made of zinc-plated steel, these links are mildly corrosion resistant. The nut must completely cover the threads for these links to handle their maximum capacity. They can be reused.

Figure-Eight Connectors


Often used in cable stringing and pulling applications, these connectors lock quickly and stay closed under tension. They’re not for use in overhead lifting applications. They should not be used as a link for chain or to repair chain.
