FAQs
Are these shackles suitable for saltwater use?
Yes, the galvanised coating provides excellent protection against corrosion, making them suitable for marine and outdoor environments.
Can I use these for lifting heavy engines?
While these are high-strength, they should only be used for overhead lifting if they are specifically load-rated and certified for that purpose by a qualified inspector.
What is the diameter of the pin?
The pin diameter is 13mm.
How many shackles are included in the pack?
Each pack contains 4 individual Dee D Shackles.
What is the jaw depth?
The jaw depth behind the pin is 39mm.
Do these shackles come with a safety lock or cotter pin?
No, these are standard threaded pin Dee shackles and do not include a cotter pin or secondary locking mechanism.
Troubleshooting
Pin is difficult to screw in or out
Clean the threads of any dirt or rust with a wire brush and apply a small amount of grease or anti-seize compound.
Shackle appears slightly bent after heavy use
If a shackle shows visible deformation, it has exceeded its safe working load and should be discarded immediately to prevent failure.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior corrosion resistance due to galvanisation
- High-strength steel construction for heavy-duty use
- Versatile 4-pack configuration for multiple applications
- Easy-to-use threaded pin design
Cons
- Not suitable for overhead lifting unless certified for that purpose
- Manual threading requires regular lubrication to prevent seizing
- Heavy weight may be overkill for light-duty hobby projects
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your AB Tools Dee D Shackles, follow these guidelines:
- Installation: Thread the pin fully into the shackle body until it is hand-tight. Do not over-torque with tools unless necessary, as this can damage threads.
- Compatibility: Verify that the combined diameter of your chain or loop does not exceed the 24mm jaw width to prevent point-loading the pin.
- Inspection: Before every use, inspect the threads for signs of damage and check the shackle body for any deformation or deep scratches that could compromise its strength.
- Care: Keep the threads clean of grit and debris. In saltwater or high-moisture environments, apply a light coat of anti-seize lubricant to the pin threads to ensure they remain removable over long periods.
