lobster clasp

Most listings use lobster-claw (claw-style) clasps; one listing describes a magnetic layering clasp (noted to hold up to 4 pounds).

Lobster clasps attach to a variety of materials across listings, including stainless steel, brass, zinc alloy, acrylic, plastic, iron, and polyurethane.

Most listings specify 'Spot or Wipe Clean.' Some item details do not provide care instructions.

Many items are offered in gold and silver finishes; some listings specify gold-finish or gold-tone hardware. Coiled/plastic straps are shown in colors such as blue, clear, and purple in some listings.

Listed clasp sizes for those coil/retractable key straps are about 1.3 inches (approximately 3.2 x 1.3 x 0.5 cm) and about 1.5 inches (approximately 3.8 cm) in different listings.

Some listings describe the lobster clasp as providing a 'durable hold'; one magnetic clasp listing specifies its design holds up to 4 pounds.

Listings commonly describe these closures as easy to use—examples note they snap open and closed, are simple to clip on, and are easy to open and close.
