- 5,000-pound strength anywhere a single 3/8-inch bolt is handy. Of course, a good backing is required.
- 316 stainless steel.
- Cheap. About $2.95. (others brands may be 304 or other grades, some of which have been known to fail in marine environments.)
- Designed for clipping carabiners, they easily accommodate 2 carabiners.
- Obvious purpose avoids confusion over acceptable strong points. Strength rating and certifications are stamped on hanger.
The knot is just for illustration. This weakens the webbing below spec.
Countless potential uses. A few of mine....
- Add an extra block to a sail track.
- Add an anchor point at the stern for diverting mooring lines or attaching a dingy.
- Tether anchors. Don't tie rope or webbing directly; though polished to eliminate sharp corners, the radius is really too short for acceptable strength.
- Anchors to secure bicycles.
