I still have concerns by adapting something for what its not designed to do.
I'd hate to see vehicle damage or injury.
We all know from fishing a knot is the weakest point,
I'm out on these sorry but my gut says its wrong

Were metal shackles originally designed for 4wding purposes or for lifting and holding stuff?

Ok for all who were interested the above prices are for 10mm with a 10 ton rating.
We can go 12mm which ups it to a 13T rating.
From what I can tell it'll only be a couple of bucks difference.

So from here on I think I'll jump to the 12mm rope. I'll update prices once new quote comes in.

I might also spread the word and get orders from outside the forum. I though we may have been closer to 50.
All goood though.
Cheers guys.

Yes we adapted shackles to 4x4ing as it was a safe option, these "soft shackles" have been around a while now
but no one has used them 4x4ing untill now. Good luck with it I hope there is a place in recovery for them.
Just not for me.

My thoughts on these shackles are a bit like Johns there made for boats they should stay with them
in some cases they might work ,but what is the only smooth object on most 4x4s is a tow ball
Its ok they will say just loop it over that then add the hook of the winch mmm accident waiting to happen
use them once throw away more litter waste of money

I think these will be OK but a bit of R&D needs to be done first.
It would be fantastic if they could replace steel shackles, we all know too well
the damage they can do. As with my points, Kallen you may need to break a few before
you come up with a suitable one,
