Stainless Steel Snap Shackle - 316 Marine Grade Stainless Steel - Quick-Release Action

Product Description

Stainless steel snap shackle, made from 316-grade stainless steel.  Snap shackles are an ingenious invention, performing the function of a connecting shackle, combining of strength and a quick-release.

When snapped shut, snap shackles have a reliable holding action.  However, when needed, snap shackles are very easy to open, by simply pulling the opening pin.

The 'traditional' use of our stainless steel fixed snap shackles is for sail halyards.  The ease of connection and disconnection is the main reason to use a snap-shackle.  Consider using a snap-shackle in any place where you'd rather get the job done quickly - especially when up on the fore deck in a rough sea.

These snap-shackles have a fixed end, which is great for situations where you want to prevent any rotation.

In summary, snap shackles have many 'standard' uses in your running rigging, and the swivel version has the added benefit of preventing twisted ropes and lines.  Beyond the 'standard' uses, consider using a snap shackle any place where you need to act quickly.  Alternatively, if you have a need of a swivel snap shackle, we have those as well.
