Snap Shackle Fixed Eye

Snap Shackle Fixed Eye is made from G316 Stainless Steel. Snap shackle, as the name implies, is a fast action fastener which can be implemented single handedly. It uses a spring activated locking mechanism to close a hinged shackle, and can be unfastened under load. This is a potential safety hazard, but can also be extremely useful at times. The snap shackle is not as secure as any other form of shackle, but has regular >TDL and can come in handy for temporary uses or in situations which must be moved or replaced often, such as a sailor's harness tether or to attach spinnaker sheets.
