Comes in 2 different designs and 3 sizes. Whether you're going to shackle a rope eye to an anchor chain or keep one around in your vehicle for emergency towing, our shackles are guaranteed to work just as hard as you.Choosing a shackle depends on your application. A chain shackle's elongated and narrow shape allows the shackle to maintain tension in a straight line on its longest axis. However, it's at its weakest when tension is created in various angles and most weak when it must bear a load at its sides. Using any chain shackle sideways is highly unrecommended.The unique shape of the anchor shackle with its circular bow section allows the shackle to mitigate the weakness of a chain shackle. An anchor shackle is ideal for applications where two lines often move about and directional load is unavoidable. But because of its larger inner diameter, loose lines may more easily shift the orientation of the shackle sideways resulting in less optimal working load limits.To ensure your chain fits our shackle, make sure the inner diameter of your chain is greater than the shackle's size and that your chain's size is less than the inner diameter of the shackle.

• Leverage can be applied to clevis pin with bored center hole via a screw driver or rod for secure lock.
• Bored center can also be used to easily mouse the pin securely to the shackle.
• Depending on shackle size, the maximum working load limit ranges between 24.4 to 54.9 kilonewtons of force. Safe working load depends on application, and even orientation of the shackle under load.
• 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" sizes measure the diameter of the shackle's cross section.
• Made out of premium 316 stainless steel to drastically reduce wear and corrosion.
