Finally got them done.
Made with Amsteel-Blue (yes they are red )
The 4 5/16" have a break strength of 18,500 lbs
The 2 1/2" more Mog sized with a break strength of 45,000+ lbs
I need to load them and then I can trim the tails
Lighter than steel, stronger, can't break into deadly projectiles

Re: Rope Shackles
Disagree on using these on many fronts, and I have never seen a shackle fly into pieces but to each his own!

I have heard that many of the guys on another site I am involved with have been using them...but, they use Land Rovers, mostly.

Re: Rope Shackles
Sounds about right as the biggest market right now for them (in the 4x4 world) is over in Europe esp uk.krick3tt wrote:I have heard that many of the guys on another site I am involved with have been using them...but, they use Land Rovers, mostly.
They are not my invention or anything - they have been used for years in sailing (esp racing) and a lot of tug boat operators use them around here too.
Kind of like synth winch line - some like it and some want to stick with bulky steel cable as it is what they know.
Cheers,

Re: Rope Shackles
We use it on ships and it is great, but you always have to remember to use chaffing gear because it's prone to cut, scrape and friction / rubbing damage; it's rather delicate in that regard unlike wire rope. Generally it's eight times stronger than wire rope of the same size and that gives you the ability to go with a lot smaller line. It's also not so great if you want to jerk on it because it has almost no stretch, but it won't snapback when it parts.
