The SecureFix Direct 3.5mm Pear Shaped Quick Link is designed for DIY enthusiasts, campers, and marine hobbyists who need a reliable, tool-free method to connect chains, ropes, and webbing. Its primary strength lies in its ease of use for quick connections and secure, zinc-plated construction; however, it is important to note that this hardware is not intended for overhead lifting or critical load-bearing safety applications.

No. This quick link is not rated for climbing, personal safety systems, or overhead lifting.
The link has an opening clearance of 5mm, so ropes should be 5mm or smaller to pass through easily.
While zinc plating offers good resistance, it is not corrosion-proof. Frequent exposure to saltwater will require regular maintenance to prevent rust.
No, it is designed to be tightened by hand. Avoid using tools to overtighten, as this may damage the threads.
The internal width at the widest point is 30mm, while the opening gate clearance is 5mm. Ensure your attachment hardware fits these dimensions.
Apply a small amount of lubricant to the threads and work the gate back and forth to clear any debris or oxidation.
Clean the surface with a wire brush and apply a protective rust-inhibitor spray to maintain the finish.
To use the link, simply unscrew the threaded nut on the gate, insert the chain or rope loop into the pear-shaped opening, and screw the nut back into place until it is hand-tight. This link is compatible with rope diameters up to approximately 5mm. To maintain the hardware, periodically wipe it with a clean cloth to remove salt, dirt, or debris. If the gate becomes stiff, a small amount of light machine oil or lubricant on the threads can help restore smooth operation. Store in a dry place when not in use to extend the life of the zinc plating.
