Screw pin D-ring shackles

These galvanized chain shackles are excellent for use with web towing and recovery straps. When paired with chain, they provide a connecting link to connect to other hardware. it's important to note that they should be used only with single leg web straps and chain lengths, as multiple legs could cause side loading conditions.

Bolt-type D-ring shackles

Bolt type shackles are generally a better choice than a screw pin shackle in two situations: 1) in long-term, or more permanent applications; or 2) if there"s a risk of a load sliding on the shackle pin, causing the shackles to rotate.
