Screw pin shackles are up to 5X stronger than conventional winch hooks Conventional hooks are too small to safely fit both ends of a recovery strap Recover straps cannot slip out of a shackle like they can with hooks Hook safety latches are not rated for loads and can tear recovery straps Conventional hook surfaces add higher stresses to recovery strap fibers, resulting in decreased strap ratings Shackles can be quickly removed and stowed away until needed for winching. Hooks do not cinch neatly against fairleads and are prone to rattling and loosening Conventional winch hooks are designed for chains – not commonly used recovery straps Engineered, Tested, and Made in USA — Patent Pending Stress analyzed using COSMOS FEA and destructively tested for confirmation Billet construction — precision machined from 6061-T6 Kaiser Aluminum round bar 16,000 pound max load rating Fits all steel cables and synthetic ropes up to 3/8? in diameter Fits eyes equipped with standard or tube thimbles to 3/8 inch diameters 1.2 inch shackle tab thickness virtually eliminates “shackle rattle” 5/8 inch diameter 6Al-4V titanium double shear pin Optional EPDM “Rubber Guard” protects alloy Hawse fairleads — rubber barb attachment Can be installed and removed in minutes — simple snap ring removal Cinches neatly against all types of fairleads — Hawse or Roller Beautifully anodized and zinc plated in the USA ** 3rd party products are subject to shipping fees ** ** 3rd party products are subject to manufacturer lead times **
