Designed to streamline tight sailboat rigging setups, the Gloma 3/16" Forged Twisted Shackle (Model 402) provides a smooth, 90-degree transition between your attachment points. This specialized twist prevents line wrapping and eliminates torsional stress on small blocks, halyards, and deck plates. Precision-forged in Europe from high-grade AISI 316-L stainless steel, this compact shackle offers exceptional structural integrity and premium resistance to harsh saltwater corrosion. Boasting a safe working load of 600 kg (1,320 lbs), the forged steel construction is designed to visibly stretch and deform under extreme, unsafe overloads rather than snapping catastrophically, providing a critical visual warning to ensure safety on the water.
