Interlock Snap Links on Crane Swivels

"Crane" denotes the swivel design; "interlock" is the snap link design.

Old-timers at the Round Pond in London's Kensington Gardens recommended interlock swivels, because they wouldn't pull open (in gusts or trees).

Old Crane Interlock on Gabriel ReelWe have been using a couple of the original heavy duty brass versions of these since the mid-1970s, and we've been supplying them for longer than any of the others.
