Sure - as long as these devices are RATED for the same minimum breaking
strength as the rest of the whole guy wire hardware. If in doubt - leave them
OUT. I doubt that the aforementioned hardware is rated for breaking strength.
Look around for some steel carabiners or snaplinks rated at 4000#
breaking strength if yours is a 3/16" EHS guy system. You local safety supply
store probably has them.
