Im finding it impossible to locate a shackle bolt snap with a 1 inch wide opening (on the shackle end). XS scuba, highland and dive rite all have only 0.5" wide opening. Anyone know where I can find 1" ones? I know a few here use them on smb's so hoping you can share. :)

You will also find them listed as spinnaker shackles. Snap/spinnaker shackles come with fixed bales, swivel eyes, and clevis pins. All of them are a lot more expensive than bolt or butterfly snaps. They are also harder to connect one-handed, but are a great choice for one-handed release under load. I have some that are still going strong after 40 years of hard service.
