We are a small, family owned business operating out of Richmond, Virginia. We have an extensive range of AISI 316 stainless steel hardware, suitable for boats, sailing, living near the beach or anywhere that rust and corrosion is an issue.
US Stainless
Shackle Line
Metal Shackles are the most commonly used to connect chains or ropes. They can be used in towing, anchor lines, dock lines, and more. Shackles are classified by shape, material, size, and working load limit. There are many types of shackles and different shackle shapes are used over others for various reasons. Our line of shackles is made from type 316 Stainless Steel, considered by many to be best in class. 316 stainless is corrosion resistant and very durable even in the harshest conditions.
- 316 Stainless is often call "Surgical Steel", as it is the go to grade in Food Handling and Medicine
- Marine Grade Stainless
- Ideal for marine use, diving, and chemically harsh environments.
Bow Shackle
- Curvature of the bow allows for loads along various angles without developing a bend
- Often used to connect chain to anchors
Wide D Shackle
- The wider body maximizes mounting area
- Ideal for use on mooring buoys
Hex Pin Shackle
- Hex pin shackles create a non-snag surface
- Great for connecting to anchors
Anti-Off Shackle
- Safety pin makes anti-off shackles ideal for permanent connections
- Safety pin prevents unlocking in situations that may cause a threaded pin to come undone
US Type D Shackle
- The US type pin is much larger allowing for larger load limits
- Ideal for in-line loads in which a normal pin might bend
US Type Bow Shackle
- A US type pin is much larger than a normal pin allowing for larger load limits
- Perfect for situations in which a normal pinned bow shackle might bend
Long D Shackle
- The longer body allows for a greater weight to strength ratio
Twist Shackle
- Great for when you need to rotate gear for connection, yet don't want to use two connectors
Key Pin Shackle
- Key pin shackles allow for a quick release, can also be done single handed
- Great for situations in which the shackle must be undone often
D Shackle
- The shape and curvature make D shackles ideal for inline loads
- Should not be side loaded as this can cause bending

These are well priced for the quality that is Stainless Steel in the harsh salt water environment of Alaska.

These are very good quality shackles. There are no rough edges (which is very important for where I am using them) and the pin screws in easily. I actually like the laser etched markings, too.

Not 1/4". Undersized by 1/32". If proportional, strength is only about 87% of rated strength. Tiny key on pin. I compared item to two other actual 1/4" shackles.

Pin fits my anchor and anchor chain...Pin is 1/4 inch vs the thicker pins for other shackles. That allows it to fit the trip link I use on both my grapnel anchor and claw anchor for my pond boat.

I should have paid more attention to the dimensions of this shackle. This is of reasonable quality, but it's application is probably best suited for jewellery or clothing applications. I purchased this to attach to a lightweight tow line but I would never use it for that even though it is rated at 935 lbs working load limit. I needed something I could use with a power hand winch.
