Ucreative 2Pcs Synthetic Soft Shackle 7/16 Inch x 20 Inch (48,000lbs Breaking Strength) Rope Shackle with Extra Sleeves for Sailing SUV ATV Truck Jeep Off Road Recovery (Blue)

I've only used it once so far, connecting a 2"x30' static strap to an ARB 2 3/8"x30' snatch strap (20% stretch). Recovering 1/2 ton extended cab 4x4 Chevy from axle-deep mud with a Tacoma (4x4 crew-cab). It took about 7 or 8 tries, but wasn't hitting it very hard, max of 7-8mph or so. It is very easy to use, but after first use when I went to clean the mud from my straps (and soft shackle) I noticed the soft shackle fraying. It actually looked worse when wet. Hopefully the picture is clear enough to see the fraying. I will continue to use it, but will keep a very close eye on it. Hopefully I don't get any more fraying as this is much faster than threading two straps together and using a magazine or something to prevent them seizing to one another.

These soft shackles are fantastic. As part of an off-road recovery organization, we go through a lot of shackles. Soft Shackles are definitely safer in case of a line break. We have used these shackles in a variety of different scenarios and they still hold up great. We have used them in combination with straps and kinetic recovery ropes.We have definitely taken them to their WLL and they show no signs of strain.They have exceeded all of our expectations that we purchased 10 more to add to all of our recovery vehicles.

I got a few of these units and keep them in/with everything. I live in the southwestern US desert and go in the backwoods very often hunting, fishing, exploring, hiking, offroading, etc. and always find people in need. I've done a few recoveries with these things and they work. My primary rig is a 2018 duramax crewcab shortbed single wheel 3500hd and I've pulled out a 28' class A motorhome on the other end with this thing. Definitely over the rated use-case, but it held strong. The chafe resistance is a bit meh, but for the price of one bubba or gator to ~5 of these, I can spare it. They're super light compared to D-rings so I don't mind having them all over and they aren't 5 lbs projectiles if something comes loose in a recovery. Highly recommend these things. I need a leather tube to go around the rope portion.

The Ucreative soft shackle has performed well for me. It's got the same basic design as most soft, synthetic shackles, so it's easy to use. The biggest vehicle I've used it to recover was an F-250, but it had no problem doing so. I don't anticipate strength being an issue with these. I'm not sure how much the included sleeves help, but they may keep the abrasion down. Also, the bright light green color makes them easy to locate either inside a container like a backpack or when dropped on the ground.If you offroad at all, you should have a couple of these in your recovery kit!

I'm using two of these for skidded tongs on a farm. I was worried the constant tension would either eventually stretch, break them or cause the knots to get bound up and not release. But, that's not the case. They're working great and we've ordered more to replace the metal d-rings, which are not only heavy, but constantly have the bolts backing out of them. The major pro for me with these is that we're not having to listen to swinging chains banging around all day.A slightly longer and adjustable length version would be nice to see come out.

I bought this to compare to my bubba rope gator jaw pro shackle.TLDR - it works and I have used it with my bubba rope to pull out all kinds of stuff-the material is thicker so it doesn't go into tight holes as easy-the material is softer and looser so I have already had it pick a bit-the knot is huge so it doesnt come together as easy-the hole is smaller-a third of the price of the gator shackle-the protection sleeves are a nice addition (I use one of them on my gator shackle)Bottom line: I havent tested for exact strength performance but it has so far worked just the same as my other one for regular (recovery) loadings from my bubba rope.

It's not that metal shackles are better than soft. It's that they each fit a niche the other doesn't provide. When you have to secure something fast the soft one can go on quicker. I used this already to pull someone back on the road from slipping off a cliff. Very strong.

Happy with this purchase, a good value. Only used them once on a light recovery (an Explorer lightly stuck in the snow, used a ditch pig kinetic rope). The anti abrasion sleeves are a nice touch and they include an extra pair of them. Bag is nice but the draw string on one failed. This type is easy to use, plenty strong enough for my needs and can be hooked thru an A arm or other non tow hook area easier than a traditional bow shackle. I LIKE THEM.

Buena calidad y excelente precio, lo he usado unas 4 ó 5 veces, directamente con el winch para sacar un Jeep hundido en lodo hasta el chasis, también a mi FJ, otra vez lo use para jalar lateralmente un jeep que se salió del camino, usándolo como anclaje para una polea sólida de recuperacion (snatch ring). Aun no muestra algún signo de desgaste, marca de quemado por fricción o deformación. No lo usaría para algún rescate con cuerda kinetica, solo por desconfianza en la marca, (usaría un GatorJaw) sin embargo para mi winch de 10,000lbs es suficiente.

Way more convenient than an expensive carabiner or shackle. Easy to keep in the tractor cab or in the van when needed. I haven't been able to test its ultimate strength as the tractor only weighs 2+ tons. I guess if you connected it to a 10,000 lb winch you could pull to a stall but, its more than strong enough for me..It was half curiosity, half need. when I bought it..glad I did.

These shackles seem to be really well made, I have not had a chance to use them but winter is here and I am sure I will be able to put them to the test. They come with 2 extra protective sleeves which is awesome and also a storage bag, which is really nice to keep things organized in my truck. Very happy with my purchase.

I was not expecting to get the extras I was sent for the money I spent. I received a bag for each shackle and 2 “wear” sleeves for each one also. Great price and great value for money.

One should always read the dimensions. Particularly when one wants something quite small.
