Yes they're rather long. I'd buy these ones if I was buying again : https://www.jimmygreen.co.uk/item/32979/baseline-adjustable-pelican-hooks The ones I actually bought were the spring pin type and I find they do not do up nor undo under tension (not imho excessive tension either).Thanks, I found the Baseline page which seems to have all the options you mention.
I hadn't realised they were so big, I was hoping to replace some tiny snap-shackles on my side gates.
<Edit:> These Bluewave Gate-hooks look good too - at least the strain is taken by the body not the hook : http://www.southernrigging.co.uk/bluewave/marine/index-marine4a35.html?ID3=283&ID=286&PID=46 </Edit>
