Excellent execution, visibly better processed than a corresponding cheap shackle. Captive bolt, locks in locked position. Against a cheap shackle for z. B. Flaglines does not matter, but who ever (such as me) such a cheap shackle is torn in the rig, which will rely at critical points only on quality shackles.
From this shackle I am more than disappointed. Although the bolt has a diameter of 5 mm, the screw thread is considerably larger. Therefore had to drill at my block the shackle bolt hole which I wanted to avoid. Conclusion: Never again Wichard shackles! Schol. SVB: The larger thread ensures the captive bolt.
