Advantages Over Steel Shackles: Soft Shackles offer numerous advantages compared to traditional steel shackles. They boast nearly double the strength for the same diameter, making them a formidable choice for heavy-duty applications. Moreover, their buoyant nature ensures you won’t lose them in water or mud, a common issue with steel shackles. Soft Shackles are highly flexible, allowing them to easily wrap around challenging pulling points, and their one-piece construction eliminates the need for pins or fasteners, simplifying their use and enhancing safety.
Versatile Uses: Soft Shackles find applications across various industries and activities, showcasing their versatility. They are indispensable in off-road recovery scenarios, marine operations, farming tasks, industrial settings, and mining operations. Their adaptability and robust performance make them an invaluable tool in a wide range of demanding environments.
How to Use and Maintain: Using Soft Shackles is straightforward: open the shackle by loosening and slipping off the loop over the knot, then thread it through the eye of a Kinetic Rope or strap and through the tow point. Loop the eye back over the knot and pull to tighten. Always refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual to identify proper attachment points, avoiding bumper, trailer hitch balls, or sharp-edged tow points. Soft Shackles are designed to handle loads without stretching, ensuring reliability during your operations.
For care and maintenance, simply wash the Soft Shackle with water and allow it to air dry. While synthetic fibers are incredibly strong, they are susceptible to wear and cutting, so it’s crucial to inspect the shackle before each use for signs of excess wear, cutting, or worn and frayed areas to ensure continued safety and performance.
