Product Information

Full details

The SecureFix Direct 10mm Long Dee Shackle with a captive screw pin is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who require a reliable, semi-permanent connection for chains, rigging, and load securing. Its primary advantage is the captive pin design, which eliminates the risk of dropping or losing the pin in challenging environments, though users should note that the 'long' body design may create more leverage-induced stress compared to standard bow shackles if used in improper off-center loading scenarios.

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the captive pin?

The captive pin stays attached to the shackle body even when unscrewed, preventing it from being lost or dropped in difficult working conditions.

Can this be used for overhead lifting?

Always verify the specific Working Load Limit (WLL) for your intended application; this shackle is designed for industrial use but should be used within rated safety guidelines.

Is this shackle stainless steel?

The shackle is built to be highly resistant to rust and corrosion, making it suitable for harsh environments like marine or fishing settings.

What is the opening width?

The internal opening width of this shackle is 19.5mm.

How do I ensure the shackle is secure?

Ensure the pin is fully threaded into the shackle body until it is seated firmly against the side.

Can I replace the pin if it breaks?

No, the captive pin system is integrated into the shackle design; if the pin or threads are damaged, the entire shackle should be replaced.

Troubleshooting

Pin feels gritty or difficult to turn

Clean the threads with a wire brush and apply a small amount of lubricant or grease.

Pin appears slightly bent

Immediately remove from service; a bent pin indicates the shackle has been overloaded or side-loaded beyond its capacity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Captive pin design prevents loss of components
  • Excellent resistance to rust and corrosion
  • Highly durable construction suitable for industrial use
  • Extended length accommodates bulkier connection points
  • Reliable screw mechanism for secure closure

Cons

  • Heavier than standard lightweight alternatives
  • Not intended for quick-release operations
  • Limited to specific load dimensions due to fixed opening
  • Screw pin requires manual threading compared to snap-hooks

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, simply unscrew the captive pin until the opening is free, insert your chain or strap loop, and tighten the pin until hand-tight. For permanent or high-vibration applications, ensure the pin is seated firmly.

Compatibility: This shackle is compatible with 10mm chain links and standard industrial hardware with an eye diameter greater than 9mm.

Care: To maintain performance, periodically clean the threads of the pin and the shackle body to remove salt, dirt, or grit. If the shackle is used in saltwater environments, a light application of marine-grade grease to the threads can prevent seizing and extend the life of the product.
