    Soft Shackles Group buy. Expressions of interest

    Ok peeps. I'm looking at doing a group buy of the soft shackles.
    I'm looking at the 12mmx 60mm diameter loop.
    A variety of colors available, will confirm which ones soon.

    Lots of pros for a soft shackle. The biggest one in my eyes is the increased safety factor. Due to no stretch and little weight it eliminates the risk of high speed projectiles if things go wrong.

    Easy to store. The bend into any nook or cranny, and don't cause damage to other items.

    Quick and simple to use.

    No bolts to bend and make them useless.

    Initial prices are coming out at $24 +postage. But that'll reduce the more we get.
    I need a minimum of 50..

    So who's keen??

    Sorry g man.
    They are a shackle that is made from synthetic rope. Same as your winch rope.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    They sound like a good thing to use in winching applications, but my reading suggests that metal shackles would still be required for snatch use. The synthetic rope is apparently not considered suitable for ‘shock loadings’. It’s wll rating is reduced by 50% when shock loaded, & it is recommended that they should be considered a single use & discard item in those circumstances. I would also think that round profile recovery attachments rather than plate type recovery points might be necessary for winching?
