Soft shackles may be used as a lightweight replacement connecting rigging for common steel screw pin shackles. The Factor 55 10 inch Standard Duty Soft Shackles are Made in the USA under the uncompromised Factor 55 quality standards.

Each Standard Duty soft shackle is constructed of 7/16 diameter UHMWPE 12 strand rope similar in construction to synthetic winch lines. Each individual soft shackle is serialized for manufacturing date and material lot traceability.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What’s the advantage of a Soft Shackle over a steel D-ring shackle?
A: Soft shackles are lighter, won’t rust, are easier to handle, and won’t damage bumpers or recovery points if dropped. They also float in water and are safer in the event of a failure.
Q: How do I open and close the soft shackle?A: The loop is opened by loosening the knot and compressing the rope. To close, simply tighten the loop over the knot to lock it in place during the pull.
Q: What is the Factor 55 Standard Duty Soft Shackle used for?A: It's used as a lightweight, high-strength alternative to traditional steel shackles in off-road recovery. It allows for safe, closed-loop winching connections with recovery points, tree savers, straps, and winch lines.
