Selden Snap Shackles are a brilliant solution for any application you want to attach and remove quickly. Works well for runners and check stays. You can also use snap shackles for barber hauler and 2:1 purchase systems. Made of durable Duplex stainless steel.

Wichard quick release snap shackles are forged from high resistance HR stainless steel. They open easily under load, even at a distance (with a line or webbing). Indispensable for spinnakers, they are useful for any application which requires release under load (towing, lifting, or material handling). Opening the shackle is easy, with one pull on the lanyard.

Available with standard swivel eye, or a large swivel bail. Swivel eye allows for free rotation of the snap shackle.

All of Ronstans Nicro stainless snap shackles are made of investment cast 15-5 PH stainless steel, which yields a product that has both excellent corrosion resistance and a high strength-to-weight ratio. The 15-5 PH alloy, which has been well known in the aerospace industry, will provide greater ductility with no sacrifice in tensile strength. We offer three types of bails on Ronstan Nicro snap shackle: standard swivel (S-bail) commonly used on jib halyards, large swivel (FR-bail) for use on spinnaker gear or where the attachment of two lines is needed, and the forked swivel (P-bail) for a jib tack fitting. Each has unique features and all Ronstan Nicro snap shackles share individually X-rayed hooks to insure that there are no unseen casting flaws.

Ronstan's Trunnion Shackles have a swivel head that allows both 360 degree rotation and side to side articulation. The body of the shackle and pin are made of stainless steel, to provide excellent corrosion resistance.

RF6171 is a snap snackle block adapter with a 5mm (3/16") pin.

The Ronstan Fixed Head Shackle features a heavy duty plunger and precision components to ensure dependable service. The body of the shackle is made from Grade 15-5PH investment cast stainless steel, and the plunger pin and spring are forged of Grade 316 stainless steel; the use of stainless steel throughout the construction of these shackles helps to create excellent resistance to corrosion.

Forged in bronze, Ronstan's Bronze Snap Shackles are great for odd jobs that require a more classic look.

Take the shackle off the post of your block and replace it with this adapter to make a snap-shackle block. Accepts a 3/8" post and 3/16" pin. Works with all Ronstan Series 40 blocks with posts (ie. not loop heads), Series 50 singles (only, the post on the Series 50 doubles and triples is too thick), all posted Series 60 Ratchets, and the light load Series 75 Ratchet single (RF72100L).

Wichard fixed snap shackles are lightweight, small and have high working strengths. Use anywhere you do not need a shackle to swivel. No need for replacement parts: the plunger pin is set captive for life. These snap shackles are hot drop forged from high resistant stainless steel. Only forging creates a superior steel product, by increasing its elasticity and maximizing the steels internal strength. A forged snap shackle will deform long before breaking. It will not burst or break suddenly. This is a guarantee for safety.

These titanium shackles offer weight savings of up to 40% over stainless steel with comparable strength. Great for any application where weight savings is at a premium, such as halyards and spinnaker sheets.

Four sizes now available.  The J-8, J-12, J-20, and J-30 have breaking strengths of between 8,000 pound (J-8) and 30,000 pounds.  Special features include a unique patented double locking pin to prevent accidental opening during flogging. Splice these onto your jib and genoa sheets to allow quick and easy sheet attachment. Streamlined design prevents snags during tacks and jibes.

Harken Snap Shackles fit a wide variety of Small Boat and Midrange blocks and make them removable, Many use a snap shackle on the lower vang block so that it can be moved from the mastbase to the toerail to use it as a preventer.
