Stainless Steel Bolt Snaps

[Scubaroo]

Uncle Pug once bubbled...
Do you use larger ones on the backup lights and hid lighthead?

I use the 3/4" size (the smallest SS ones NDC sells) on everything. Manageable with 5mm neoprene gloves - I would not want smaller. But drysgloves are probably a different story. At $2.50ish each I'm not complaining!

EDIT: Here's the comparative sizes of the 3/4" bolt snaps on a backup light and 10W HID (ziptie has been replaced with line before anyone gets picky!)

I'll have to agree with Pug, the ones I use seem smaller than the ones in your pictures. The attachment point on mine is more "D" shaped also and too small to put my finger through.

What size line does everybody use for attaching you snaps?

I see...I've just never heard them called bolt-snaps before....I don't venture out of my cave very much.

Reef Scuba has all sizes and much much more. Excellent prices as well.

Just remember the one thing that's vital, irregardless of if it's stainless or brass: Be certain it has a stainless steel spring in it!
