Product Specifications

The advantages of winching with a screw pin shackle over a conventional winch hook are many:

• 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
