The Carbon Offroad Monkey Fist Soft Shackle is an absolute winner! The 10mm UHMWPE rope is rated at a minimum breaking strain of 15 tonnes, and with a super heavy duty braided tight sheath over the core, this shackle is built to take some abuse.
The oversized Monkey Fist knot ensures that there is zero chance of the shackle ever coming apart during a recovery.
The braided heavy duty sheath allows you to go straight through a regular recovery point. However, make sure the recovery point is in good condition, as the shackles can be damaged if the recovery point has nicks and burrs from previous use.
Easy disassembly of the shackle after load is applied is just as easy, if not easier, than a steel shackle.
Rope shackles can be used for a number of purposes, such as:
- Connecting your vehicle to a snatch strap or kinetic rope
- Connecting a tree trunk protector strap to the winch hook
- Connecting two straps together to extend your reach
They also give you further options, such as using them as an attachment point around a chassis rail or crossmember.
