Sorry fellas, but the show is not over till the fat lady sings!
This guy is keen, the treat of litigation would surely be enough to take those shackles off the market.
This whole discussion has made me rethink the way I have been doing things. There is room for improvement so I will do recoveries better and safer.

Well done though Doggy!
Spoke to Daniel from ACCC and hopefully we can do something about these so called "recovery packs", sent him a email with the link that Rod posted, he would like a full report of all the info that we have so I will do that tomorrow after work.
These are back on ebay, I would urge anyone looking to purchase recovery gear to stay away from these kits.http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/4x4-RECOV...item2a138ea893

Both of these kits carry the so called "towball safe shackle"
snatching using the towball as a recovery point can and has been DEADLY.
If you already have one of these kits, please do not put ANY faith in the towball and the shackle method of attaching the strap to a vehicle.
