I'm not encouraging anyone to do it!. Don't modify commercial equipment!
Without the latch I'd find them acceptable as they'd open with thumb
pressure and a bit deeper to reduce the possibility of inadvertent
opening. My hands are small and latches on all of the hooks I've used
are a real PITA. These may be different. I'd certainly purchase a set
to try. (I'm not above spending money on safety equipment to find the
best for utility.) My preference is for a deep, open Gorilla hook.
Unlikely to come off accidentally, but almost effortlessly removed.
OTOH Never climb above them! On the last set I had they were spring
loaded and rotated to unlock. Those were the ultimate PITA for small
hands.
