swivel hook

Turning attachment point

A swivel hook is a hook attached to a rotating connector, allowing whatever hangs from it to turn freely without twisting the line or chain above.

Common on dog leashes, keychains, and rigging equipment: The swivel hook kept the rope from tangling as the load spun.
