Questions & Answers

A 9/32" pin will fit in a hole that size, yes or no?

In this 1/2” bow shackle, the body and pin are both 1/2" (12mm) in diameter. Having a shackle of 1/4" (6mm) or smaller would be necessary for the pin to fit into a 9/32" hole.

Amount of pin that is needed. ?

There is a type of shackle known as a "European shackle" whose pin diameter matches the tube diameter, so the pin diameter on this shackle is 12mm (1/2"). An oversized pin, often one or two sizes larger in diameter than the shackle body, defines a "US" style shackle.

Have you ever seen a 5/8 in pipe like this?

A 5/8" Bow Shackle from this series can be found on Amazon with the There is no pair of these, they are sold separately.

Is the pin long enough to fit through a keyhole?

The keyhole will go through the pin if it is 1/2" in diameter. It's unlikely that any pin that's small enough to fit into a keyhole would have jaws that are wide enough to slip over a door's

Selected User Reviews For Stainless Steel 316 Forged Bow Shackle

It is of very high I have a galvanized chain of measure 1/2", and it fits perfectly with this 1/2" shackle
5/5

This is a original 12 mm screw shackle. The opening for the links is 49. In spite of the negative comment when someone compared this 1/2 inch stainless steel shackle to a 1/2 inch galvanised shackle, claiming it to be inferior, this shackle is of very high quality. Make sure your chain has a shackle that fits it. In fact, forged steel parts can be smaller and stronger than mild steel, so I was very happy to buy them. I'm not sure the WLL, but 3410 lbs seemed higher than other 1/2" shackles when I can test it. There is a very nice appearance to this and it's very well The 316 marks are also faintly visible. There is a small size mark as well as a name. The anchor chain and anchor anchor anchor I purchased this for were used on the boat. For any SS, grease the threads with a waterproof substance to prevent galling from occurring due to continuous contact between two metals. To apply Teflon Rectorseal T plus 2, I am planning to use the product.

Despite its small size, it is very nice
3/5

Having failed to pay attention to the dimensions of this shackle, I should have noticed its length. Its application would probably be best suited to jewellery or clothing, because it is of a decent quality. This product may be rated for 935 pounds of working load limit, but I would never use it for that even though it is meant for a lightweight tow line. A power hand winch was the only thing I could use with it.

Defects that threaten life and limb This product should not be used! These should not be used - There is a high probability of failure
3/5

diameter of the boring on the non-threaded side of the bow shackle is larger than the diameter of the clevis screw. Therefore it will screw tightly on one side- the screw bore is larger (3/64) - so it will screw tightly on one side. The weight of the object makes it wobble. The threading will be degraded as a result of the wobble. In short, clevis pin borings should be no bigger than 1/128. 3/64 may not seem like a big deal, but it can make a big difference. If you bought it before reading this (what a shame) but when you hold it in your hand you realize it is a crap product. I hope you understand.

This was difficult to capture in the photograph. Take a moment to glance at it.

There is no doubt that they are well worth the money
5/5

These are true stainless steel shackles, laser etched with size and grade right on the shackle itself. I have no idea why some reviews were not so good. The finish is bright and shiny. There are no flaws we could find in it. This set of shackles is terrific. I am very, very pleased with them.

I am bound by great chains
5/5

This is a sturdy and thick material. Exercise equipment, a close grip and lat bars, and something to attach the bands to them were all I brought. Since the bars were steel, I needed a shackle that would hold up to the same stress. It was a perfect fit, and it was very thick, sturdy, and solid. Thank you for your purchase. I am pleased with it.

Sea water is excellent for this product
5/5

The salt water resistance of these shackles is extremely good. The buoys can be fastened with them when the mooring lines are attached. There has been no corrosion of any kind that I have observed. Rugged and strong, they can withstand the elements well.

Half-inch should be used instead of 1/2 inch
3/5

There is no 1/2 inch here. 5/16th's of an inch is more than close enough. Below are pictures with a real 1/2 inch to give you an idea of size.
