Heavy attachment you want to undo by hand: a mooring line onto a bow eye, a heavy annexe or shade sail corner, a chain tail you clip on and off. The 10 mm bar is stiff enough that a hard pull will not distort the hook.
The gate is the weak part on any snap, whatever the gauge. It is a spring, not a lock, and it opens if the load twists across it. Where a let-go would be serious, a mooring left overnight, use a shackle or mouse the gate shut.
It does on a light line. A hook this heavy carries enough mass to swing and knock about, marking gelcoat or a painted tray when it hangs loose on a slack rope. Tie it back when it is not in use and the problem goes away.
