Shackles

Shackles are metal devices used for fastening and securing ropes, chains, and cables. They consist of a U-shaped body and a pin or bolt that holds the shackle closed. Shackles are used in a variety of applications, including boating, rigging, lifting, and construction. They come in different shapes and sizes, including screw pin shackles, bolt type shackles, and D-shackles, to accommodate different needs. Shackles are typically made of steel or stainless steel for durability and strength, and are designed to withstand heavy loads and harsh conditions.
