You pass the end of the soft shackle thru the atachement point/s and/or eye/s.
Slide open the loop of the shackle and pass the button knot (knob) thru the loop.
The loop closes and the button knot can't fit back thru.
Sort of like a button on a shirt
My personal rough guide is 2 times the rating of the rope I used to make the shackle.
I notice the Ebayer has stated a tad less but thats cool, he is selling his to Joe Public so needs to be very conservative
Given that Mensa has knocked me back dozens of times now (who says persistence pays), something about a lack of spatial awareness,Quote:

So, a reef knot for idiots, no chance of stuffing the join to whatever recovery accessory is utilised?
In that case add me to the list. Touses x 2

so what's the go did this all fall through or
not enough numbers to make it worth while LOL
Long story short , you'd rather be hit in the back of the head with a soft shackleQuote:

Shit I bought 2 and I couldn't tell where they are now, hopefully in the patrol somewhere.
OOI is anyone or has any one used these soft shackles yet.
A bit of a road report so to say would be good
As prev mentioned... been using them for years, they work great.Quote:

This youtube video has answered my question about soft shackles used with sharp cornered recovery points. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66BXmM_JuBIQuote:

I have not finished rounding off the corners yet, but I would be willing to send the recovery point to get it tested If anyone knows how or where to get it done.
Hi Craig @mudnut any sling and shackle place will be able to test it for you
first make a plate to bolt your recovery point to with a hole to except a 4,6 t shackle
You need to ask for them to be proof tested first then have them do a destruction test.
You want a min of 18t breaking point 12t is too light and youll need to re design it
Proof testing is they will scribe two lines and then pull it at 4.5t for 50 times if the lines
are the same you have a winner. even if its moved only one mil youre ok. need more
help you have my number. expect to pay around $500 to get your certificate
