Description

Gloma Nautica Shackle Spanner with Snap Hook

The Gloma Nautica Shackle Spanner with Snap Hook is a purpose-built marine tool that combines rugged performance with quick-access convenience. Forged from corrosion-resistant AISI 316 stainless steel, this versatile spanner includes a pre-fitted stainless snap hook—allowing it to be securely clipped to belt loops, rigging bags, tool lanyards, or life jackets for instant accessibility and onboard safety ([glomanautica.com][1]).

Engineered for durability in extreme marine environments, this spanner delivers a practical solution for tightening and loosening a wide range of shackles. Its multi-size slots are precisely cut to match standard pin heads found in D shackles, bow shackles, captive pin types, and HR (high resistance) shackles. Whether used on sailing yachts, fishing vessels, or commercial marine platforms, this spanner helps eliminate the frustration and hazards of makeshift tightening tools.

The snap hook is factory-mounted through a reinforced hole in the spanner’s handle and is made from the same AISI 316 marine-grade stainless steel—offering rust-free performance in salt-heavy conditions. The hook opens and closes securely with spring-loaded tension, allowing users to clip and unclip it with one hand, even while wearing gloves. This makes it ideal for use on moving decks, at height, or during routine rigging checks.

Each spanner is hot-forged at Gloma Nautica’s facility in Cabrera de Mar, Spain. Forging aligns the internal grain of the steel, giving the spanner significantly greater strength than cast or machined equivalents. It is designed to deform visibly under excessive load, providing a crucial safety margin by warning the user before potential failure. The polished surface offers a sleek, professional finish that also improves corrosion resistance and simplifies cleaning.

Sized for practical use in the field, the tool fits comfortably in hand and stores easily in pockets or rigging kits. The snap hook keeps the spanner tethered and secure, helping prevent accidental drops overboard and reducing downtime caused by lost tools. This makes it a reliable companion in professional rigging, sail adjustments, deck hardware fitting, and regular maritime maintenance.

Trusted by marine engineers, boatbuilders, deckhands, and offshore crews, the Gloma Nautica Shackle Spanner with Snap Hook is a compact solution that reflects the brand’s dedication to safety, quality, and durability. Manufactured under strict internal controls and full traceability, every unit meets European quality benchmarks for dimensional precision and steel integrity.

Simple, effective, and ready for action, this spanner is an indispensable tool for every serious mariner who values secure rigging and operational efficiency.
