3/8ft Anchor Shackle Forged Carbon Steel 1.0 Ton WLL - 10 Pack

Our review of the 3/8' Anchor Shackle Pack gives a clear bottom line: this 10 pack is aimed at users who need reliable, heavy-duty shackles for towing, rigging or excavation work where strength and corrosion resistance matter. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a 1.0 ton working load limit and a forged carbon steel construction with double rust protection, which makes these shackles a practical choice for professional and DIY users needing dependable connections under load.

Key Features

• Pack Size: Ten shackles provide ready spare capacity so a workshop or jobsite can outfit multiple anchor points without repeated orders.
• Anchor Shackle Design: The anchor style offers a wider bow that accommodates multiple slings or straps for versatile rigging arrangements.
• Forged Carbon Steel: Forged construction gives a robust core that helps resist deformation when used within the rated limits.
• Alloy Screw Pin: The alloy screw pin secures connections quickly and resists shear under tension for reliable towing and recovery use.
• Load Ratings: A working load limit of 1.0 ton (2,000 lbs.) paired with a 6 ton breaking strength provides a safety margin for demanding tasks.
• Double Rust Protection: The corrosion protection extends usable life for outdoor applications and reduces maintenance frequency.

Who It's For

This pack is well suited to vehicle recovery enthusiasts, contractors, and equipment operators who need multiple dependable anchor points for towing, winching and rigging. The heavy forged steel and alloy pin make the shackles appropriate for tasks like excavator rigging, trailer work, and general winch accessory use where strength and durability are priorities.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who need lighter, compact fittings for low-load applications or stainless options for continuous immersion in saltwater environments. If you require certified marine-grade stainless shackles or ratings above 1.0 ton per shackle, consider alternate materials or higher capacity hardware.
