Monkey Fist 13,000kg synthetic soft shackle

Lightweight, safe and easy to store, synthetic shackles are hugely popular with off-road tourers for the simple reasons, being they: are light in weight, offer high user-safety, are versatile and easy to store in your vehicle.

The new Carbon Offroad Monkey Fist synthetic shackle offers a heady 13-tonne minimum breaking strain rating (actual breaking strain figure is 13,209kg), thanks to its 10mm UHMWPE rope-fibre and heavy-duty braided tight sheath over the core. This sheath allows you to go straight through a regular recovery point. You can connect the soft shackle to another shackle, a tree-trunk protector, snatch strap and kinetic rope for recovery.

It can also be used as an attachment point around a crossmember or chassis rail. This handy recovery tool is as easy to disassemble as a steel shackle and comes with its own storage bag.
RRP: $49.95

10,000kg premium winch rope thimble shackle

This Australian designed and developed winch rope thimble shackle is made from billet aluminium 6061 T6 and comes with a Type 3 hard anodised finish.

The 800g unit allows safe use of both a synthetic rope soft shackle and a traditional steel bow shackle. Plus, the thimble can be pulled up to the fairlead for easy storage of the attachment point. Soft radii locators on the back-end ensure the thimble is centred on the rope outlet when stowed.

The attachment point is a simple loop with a large radius edge and incorporates a flat inner section, to spread the load of a steel bow shackle pin.

The shackle has been load tested to more than 16,000kg and is comfortably able to handle loads up to 10,000kg. Available in dark grey and silver.

RRP: $119.95
