Quick Links come in all sorts of sizes. Their main use is on link chains. Often, a need to extend a chain or replace a damaged link arises and a quick link is just the ticket. I have used mine in the past to attach a camera case to the front of my ATV. Coupled with a turnbuckle, it held everything firmly in place. I have used larger sizes to completely secure trailer safety chains to my hitch. These links in particular are for light-duty use so be sure to check the rating on the quick link you chose.
This quick link from Everbilt is zinc plated steel, handles up to 3300 lbs, 4 1/4 inches long, and 1/2 inch thick. The threaded portion opens and closes smoothly without hanging up. In order to give it a real test, I loaned it to my neighbor who used it to join 2 chains in order to pull up a fairly large stump with a yard tractor. It did the job perfectly without breaking or distorting the link.
It works like its supposed to. I didn't put more than 500lbs on it, but it held fine and did its job. If you are using it to throw up and pull branches down with a rope I recommend getting 2 or 3 so the weight will pull the rope down on its own.

Works well, but after heavy load can be difficult to disconnect.

Works great for me. I used them (2) to secure a surge protector to my RV power cord.

What can I say about a quick link? I mean, it hasn’t broken yet so I guess it’s working?so basically 5 star until it breaks and then 1 star. Not broken yet. So I guess 5 star?

For a Hammock, not any special application. Does what it states. Not a mayor item.

Good quality, but didn’t work for me, as threaded portion to large to fit through a BIG chain link.
