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.

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.

Pear-Shaped Riveted Hammer-Close Connecting Links—Not for Lifting
Restrict rope and chain movement with the narrow end, attach multiple connectors to the wide end, and then hammer these links closed. Using a ball peen hammer, strike the prongs until they expand and hold the link together. Made of galvanized steel, these links have a thick coating for corrosion resistance. Never reuse these links after they've been closed.
