I did helicopter lift work, up to 10, 000 lbs. for over 10-years, as the helicopter mechanic on construction job site we were responsible that the loads were rigged correctly, a ton of Crosby's passed through my hands and inspection for correct rigging. Never had an issue with a shackle, we used screw type pins, to speed up the constant moving of rigging from unit to unit. Still have some Crosby's that made their way to my home.

I had 38 years at sea, using HD Crosby fittings every day!

Lots and lots of wild things happened!

NEVER A CROSBY SHACKLE FAILURE!

I've been a career mechanical engineer for 30+yrs. Have done mostly plastic and stamped metal part design. Have always felt that closed die forging is the most badass of all manufactuirng processes. Thanks for putting this awesome video together!

Having used literally thousands of these doing entertainment gigs as well as material handling in the Military they are really the finest quality and incredibly durable - I have never in my entire experience with lifting seen a Crosby shackle fail to perform exactly as expected. 100% respect to everyone there for making an extremely high-quality product! Great Video. 👍

One of my biggest pet peeves is being on/around job sites and hearing people spout their ignorance, it is so nice to see videos like this as more people need to understand what it really takes keep things running, or to build things from scratch. Cost is always brought up, but after they see videos like these, it tends to open their eyes as how much goes in to just one segment of a large job, it also quells the money issue as people, for the most part, begin to see how much goes into the safety of a well made (American) product.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

I work at the lifting division of Xtek Canada and we use Crosby products almost exclusively. Lives depend on our equipment so its important to have THE best. With off shore products, you can never be sure of its quality. With Crosby, we know we can rely on its durability.

Years ago I ran American friction cranes in a scrapyard. All of our terminal connections for our wire ropes were Crosby products. For safety reasons you cannot skimp on those parts. Crosby is the best, period.
