That ending was funny! 😂 Would love to hear more about applications fir different types of shackles, and those specialty shackles. I know that's a wide subject, but as a layman, it is often hard to choose.

I love rigging. Trucking introduced me to it via flatbed driving. Can’t wait to go union. Thank you for your content.

I've got ten bucks and the grill ready with burgers. . . . . I have to run a cable to support pulling power out to my garage to charge an EV. . . . . Whenever you're ready, I will fire the grill up and provide a few of your favorite beverages once we have it done . . . . . . Seriously though, I just ordered the parts from your site. Incidentally I would be willing to pay a bit more for made in USA parts, not sure on the origins for what I ordered I saw you have a section for that, but I did not see the cable parts I needed listed there, maybe my error.

I have two questions; First can Anchor & Bow shackles be used for towing/recovery and the second is when hooking a chain up to a shackle, is it safe to put the last link of the chain onto the pin that is screwed into the shackle when the shackle is hooked onto something to pull?

The "bow" of the shackle? Come on dude!? That's the "bell."
