Wichard Symmetric Carbin Hook - 120mm Length - 15/32"

The Wichard Symmetric Carbine Hook—120mm length with 15/32" opening—is a marine-grade stainless steel fastening solution engineered for reliability in high-load applications on deck or below. Constructed from 316L stainless steel, this symmetric carbine hook resists saltwater corrosion and maintains structural integrity in demanding offshore and coastal environments where inferior hardware fails within seasons.

The hook features a working load limit (WLL) of 1,580 lbs and a maximum safe working load of 2,990 lbs—specifications that matter because they directly determine whether this hardware will hold under shock loads, surge, or dynamic rigging stress. The symmetrical design distributes load evenly across both sides, eliminating weak points that compromise single-oriented hooks. An integrated eye allows rapid attachment of webbing, splicing, or secondary rigging without need for supplemental shackles, reducing both weight and complexity in the rigging chain.

This carbine hook suits commercial fishing operations, yacht and sailboat rigging, marine recovery, and any fastening application where corrosion resistance and proven load performance are non-negotiable. Weekend anglers maintaining personal vessels and professional captains managing fleet hardware both rely on Wichard's reputation for precision marine equipment that withstands repeated exposure to salt air, UV, and impact loads without degradation.

Wichard is the established choice among marine riggers and boat builders across Europe and North America. The 120mm size positions this hook as a mid-range fastening device—large enough for serious load work but compact enough for confined deck spaces. Unlike inferior stainless grades that pit and corrode, 316L specifically resists pitting in saltwater applications, ensuring this hook remains functionally reliable across decades of service.
