For technical divers managing multiple clips in low visibility or cold water, that makes a meaningful difference when you need to be fast and accurate with one hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e316 stainless steel holds up in saltwater\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheaper clips use inferior steel grades that show surface rust after a season of regular saltwater diving. 316 stainless is the standard for marine-grade hardware, and it is what we recommend to anyone diving the UK coastline regularly. The polished finish also makes it easier to spot wear or debris building up around the gates after a dive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGate opening works across standard D-ring sizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 12-15mm gate opening covers the majority of standard D-ring wire diameters and bungee loops used in both recreational and technical configurations.

It is heavier than titanium but significantly more affordable, and for most recreational and technical divers it is the right balance of durability and cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePolished corrosion-resistant finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe polished surface is not just cosmetic. It resists fouling, is easier to rinse clean after saltwater dives, and allows easy visual inspection of the gate mechanism. Rinse thoroughly after use and the finish will hold well through years of regular diving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAvailable in 90mm and 120mm\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo lengths cover the main use cases. The 90mm is the cleaner, lower-profile option for most recreational clip needs. The 120mm suits divers who want more handle to work with, particularly when managing gear single-handed or with thick gloves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-notice-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaintenance note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven 316 stainless benefits from a thorough freshwater rinse after every saltwater dive. Pay particular attention to the gate springs, where salt can accumulate and cause stiffness over time.

If you dive in drysuit or thick wetsuit gloves and need more handle area for single-handed operation, go with the 120mm. When in doubt, ask us and we will point you in the right direction based on your setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs 316 stainless steel good enough for regular saltwater diving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. 316 stainless is the standard marine-grade specification and is widely used in dive hardware, boat fittings, and coastal equipment precisely because of its chloride resistance. It is not the lightest option, but for most divers it is the correct balance of durability, cost, and corrosion performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the gate opening and will it fit my D-rings?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gate opens to 12-15mm, which fits the standard D-ring wire diameters used on most BCDs, harnesses, and bungee loops. If you are running non-standard hardware, measure your D-ring wire diameter before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use this on a drysuit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, boltsnaps are standard hardware on drysuit setups. The 120mm version is particularly well suited to drysuit diving where thicker gloves are the norm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I look after it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRinse thoroughly in fresh water after every saltwater dive, paying attention to the gate mechanism.
