The plunger pin is captive in the hook and cannot become detached, and the shackle is easy to open by pulling the plunger pin, with the option of attaching a lanyard to the ring for opening from a distance. The maker lists excellent working and breaking loads but no figures in the supplier data, so confirm the load rating before using it for a critical job. It suits a sailor who needs a quick-release connection between a sail, strop or webbing strap and a halyard or sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 80 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: forged 17-4 PH stainless steel (HR grade)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEye: swivel, flat shape for webbing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePin: captive plunger pin, cannot be lost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpening: pull the plunger pin, lanyard can be attached\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eOne snap shackle with webbing swivel\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"WICHARD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67998896816441,"sku":"W2374","price":1800.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/1730\/8473\/files\/wichard-hr-snap-shackle-webbing-swivel-80-mm-1.jpg?v=1794041395"},{"product_id":"wichard-hr-snap-shackle-clevis-pin-86-mm","title":"HR Snap Shackle with Clevis Pin 86 mm","description":"\u003ch4\u003eDescription\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis HR snap shackle ends in a clevis pin, so it fixes straight onto a sail corner, a padeye or a strop with a bolted connection.

It is forged in grade 316L stainless steel. The pin stays connected to the body at all times, even when the shackle is open, and it locks into one of the indentations so it cannot work loose from vibration. Opening and closing can be done with one hand, which is safer on a moving boat. The pin diameter is 6 mm. The shackle carries a CE marking, and the maker notes that a working load limit applies only to industrial uses such as lifting, so no working load is quoted for sailing use. Breaking load is not listed in the supplier data and should be confirmed before the shackle is used for a critical connection.

It is a monobloc item with no mechanical parts, which gives better reliability, and it has working and breaking load limits the maker describes as impressive. Fins keep the rope on track, limit rope wear and make rope installation easy. A becket function lets it be used to make tackles. In this version a leash keeps the forged 17-4 PH stainless steel pin attached, so it cannot be lost while the block is opened, handled and closed. The pin diameter is 10 mm and the block takes rope up to 14 mm. Typical uses are a 2:1 halyard purchase on a mainsail, spinnaker or gennaker, and the terminals of a flying sail furler, tensioning at the top or from the bottom. Load figures are not given in the supplier data, so confirm them before specifying it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePin diameter: 10 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum rope size: 14 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePin: forged 17-4 PH stainless steel, captive on a leash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: one-piece block with no moving parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUses: 2:1 halyard purchase, furler terminals, tackles via becket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eOne friction block with captive pin\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"WICHARD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67998898716985,"sku":"W11605","price":2250.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/1730\/8473\/files\/wichard-mxevo-friction-block-10-mm-captive-pin-1.jpg?v=1794041408"}],"url":"https:\/\/scubaevolution.co.za\/collections\/wichard.oembed","provider":"Scuba Evolution","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
