Petzl EASHOOK Open Connector with Gated Connection Point — Snap Hook Connector

A gated snap hook connector built for direct attachment — Petzl EASHOOK

A snap hook connector with a gated opening lets you clip directly to a D-ring or anchor point without threading a closed loop over it, and the Petzl EASHOOK is built exactly for that job. It's the connector end used on compatible Petzl lanyard systems — sold on its own here as the replacement or standalone part, not bundled with a lanyard.

Shoppers searching petzl eashook specifically, or a gated connector for a Petzl lanyard needing a replacement end, land on the right part. A general lanyard connector search for this style of open-gate hardware also lands here.

Key features

• Gated connection point opens for direct attachment
• Sized for Petzl's Absorbica and ASAP’Sorber lanyard systems
• Sold as the connector alone — pairs with a compatible lanyard
• Compact, purpose-built hardware rather than a general-purpose carabiner
• Petzl — SKU PEOC-STD, live Amazon pricing on the linked listing

Pros & cons

Specifications

What the EASHOOK is for

Replacing a worn or damaged connector on a compatible Petzl lanyard, or completing a lanyard build that specifies this connector style. It sits in the carabiners & connectors collection, supports the lanyards ranked in our fall protection lanyards guide, forms the connector link described in the fall protection equipment guide, and pairs with a harness from our ranked harness guide and Petzl's own Absorbica Y tie-back lanyard and ASAP’Sorber Axess energy absorber lanyard.

Compatibility

Confirm your lanyard specifies this connector style before ordering a replacement — Petzl's Absorbica and ASAP’Sorber lines are the primary match. The opposite end of your lanyard typically takes a D-ring extender with snap hook, the FallTech 8366 D-ring extender, or a Guardian extension lanyard, or it clips straight to a harness D-ring — see the D-ring extenders guide and the full body harness collection.

How the EASHOOK compares

If your setup calls for a traditional locking carabiner instead of this gated open-connector style, compare the Petzl BMD carabiner or the 3M DBI-SALA Saflok self-locking carabiner. For a complete rope-grab connector rather than a single lanyard-end hook, see the FallTech 8368 rope grab lanyard set. The broader lanyard field lives in the lanyards & lifelines collection, every connector in stock is in the carabiners & connectors collection, and the full category sits in the fall protection collection. If you're weighing a rope-grab lifeline against a self-retracting one for the rest of the system, see shock-absorbing lanyard vs SRL.

Safety note: a connector like the EASHOOK is one part of a personal fall arrest system — it must be paired with a compatible rated lanyard, a full body harness, and a rated anchor meeting OSHA 1926.502 to function as intended. Confirm connector-to-lanyard compatibility per Petzl's instructions, inspect the gate and connection point before every use, and retire the connector after any fall arrest.

Ordering FAQ

Is the Petzl EASHOOK in stock and ready to ship?
Yes — this listing is active and ships through Amazon. Open the linked listing for live price, availability, and delivery speed.

What is the EASHOOK exactly?
A gated snap hook connector for lanyards — its connection point is gated and opens for direct attachment, rather than requiring you to thread a closed loop over a D-ring.

Does this come with a lanyard?
No — this listing is the connector itself. It’s designed to attach to a compatible Petzl lanyard system, sold separately.

What does “open connector” mean?
The connection point has a gate you open to attach it directly to a D-ring or anchor point, then close — rather than being a permanently closed loop you have to route hardware through.

Is this the same as a carabiner?
It’s a gated snap hook connector, not confirmed to be a full oval-gate carabiner. If you specifically need a locking carabiner, compare the Petzl BMD carabiner or the 3M DBI-SALA Saflok self-locking carabiner instead.

What connects to the harness end?
The EASHOOK’s gated connection point clips to a rated D-ring on your harness or to an anchor point, per Petzl’s instructions for the connector.

Which Petzl lanyards use the EASHOOK?
Petzl’s Absorbica and ASAP’Sorber lanyard lines are built around this style of open connector — check your specific lanyard’s listing to confirm compatibility before ordering a replacement.

Can I use this to replace a worn connector on my lanyard?
If your Petzl lanyard uses this connector style and yours is worn or damaged, this listing is the replacement part — confirm the model match against your lanyard first.

Is this OSHA compliant?
As a connector it forms part of the compliant rig when paired with a rated lanyard, harness, and anchor under OSHA 1926.502 — the connector itself isn’t a standalone compliance item.

How do I inspect it before use?
Check the gate opens and closes fully and locks as designed, look for cracks, deformation, or corrosion on the body, and confirm the connection point shows no wear at the load-bearing contact surface. Retire after any fall arrest.

What's the difference between this and the Petzl BMD carabiner?
The BMD is a traditional oval-gate carabiner; the EASHOOK is a gated open connector built specifically for Petzl’s lanyard systems. Pick based on which hardware your lanyard or anchor setup calls for.

Can I use two EASHOOKs on a twin-leg lanyard?
If your twin-leg lanyard is designed for this connector style, yes — check the lanyard’s own listing for its specified connector hardware before ordering.

How do I reorder for a crew?
Reorder from this page — the listing and its linked Amazon ASIN stay constant, so replacing a connector on any lanyard in the fleet takes seconds.
