The SecureFix Direct 10mm Double Bar D Shackle (SFSSDB10) is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts requiring reliable, heavy-duty connections for rope and chain rigging. Crafted from 316-grade stainless steel, this shackle provides exceptional corrosion resistance, making it an ideal choice for marine, coastal, and outdoor environments. While it offers a substantial 5700KG breaking load, users should note that the captive pin mechanism, while excellent for loss prevention, requires more time to disengage compared to standard quick-release shackles.

The captive pin stays attached to the shackle body, meaning it cannot fall into the water or get lost when you are working on a boat or at height.
This shackle is rated for a breaking load of 5700KG; however, always consult local safety regulations and load testing certifications for specific overhead lifting requirements.
It is highly corrosion-resistant, particularly in marine environments, but not entirely immune to rust if neglected in extreme conditions for long periods.
The shackle features a 10mm nominal thickness, with precise engineering specs of 10.8mm for the F-measurement component.
It is recommended to check and lubricate the threads every few months, or more frequently if used in constant saltwater immersion.
Clean any salt crust or grit from the threads with fresh water and a stiff nylon brush, then apply a marine-grade anti-seize lubricant.
Use a specialized stainless steel passivating cleaner to remove surface tea-staining; avoid steel wool which can leave iron deposits and cause rust.
To install, thread the captive pin through the chain link or rope eyelet and tighten manually until snug. Given the marine-grade construction, the shackle is compatible with most 10mm standard chains and heavy-duty synthetic ropes. While 316 stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion, it can occasionally suffer from thread galling if grit enters the threads. To ensure longevity, rinse the shackle with fresh water after exposure to saltwater and apply a light coating of marine-grade lubricant or anti-seize compound to the threads periodically to ensure smooth operation.
