Product Information
The Jowl Recovery Shackle (Flame Red) is a high-strength, closed-system recovery shackle designed to connect recovery straps, winch lines, or soft shackles without the risk of accidental release. Made from aerospace-grade aluminum, it’s engineered to handle extreme loads while remaining lightweight for easy handling and reduced wear on vehicle components.
Its patented quick-connect system allows users to attach recovery gear quickly, eliminating the need for traditional screw-pin shackles that can seize under load or exposure to mud and grit. The anodized flame-red finish not only adds striking style but also enhances corrosion resistance for long-term reliability in any environment, from muddy trails to coastal dunes.

Key Features & Benefits
1. Aerospace-Grade Aluminum Construction
Built from precision-machined 7075-T6 aluminum, the Jowl Recovery Shackle delivers high tensile strength with minimal weight. This premium material ensures exceptional load capacity and corrosion resistance in extreme conditions.
2. Closed-System Safety Design
Unlike open hooks that can release under tension, this shackle’s closed design keeps recovery lines secure. It minimizes the risk of flying projectiles or accidental disconnection during high-stress recoveries.
3. Quick-Latch Mechanism
The innovative quick-connect system simplifies the recovery process by allowing one-handed operation. This feature saves time during recoveries and provides peace of mind when every second counts.
4. Flame-Red Anodized Finish
The bold red anodized surface adds more than just visual appeal, it resists fading, rust, and surface wear. It also helps users quickly identify recovery points in low-light or muddy conditions.
5. High Load Rating
Each Jowl Recovery Shackle is tested and rated to handle heavy recovery loads typical of off-road vehicles. This ensures reliable strength under extreme tension, helping drivers recover safely from deep mud, sand, or snow.
6. Universal Fit Compatibility
The shackle hook accommodates most recovery straps, winch lines, and soft shackles, making it a versatile addition to any recovery kit. It’s compatible with both synthetic and steel cables, ensuring flexibility in setup.
7. Noise-Reducing Isolator
A protective rubber isolator prevents metal-to-metal contact when mounted on a bumper or hitch. This reduces vibration noise and protects the shackle’s finish from scratches during travel.
8. Corrosion and Weather Resistance
From humid swamps to salty beaches, the anodized aluminum body and stainless steel pin resist corrosion. Users enjoy long-lasting durability without constant cleaning or maintenance.
9. Easy Maintenance
Unlike traditional shackles that rust or seize, the Jowl’s smooth anodized surface and quick-release pin make cleaning simple. A quick rinse removes dirt or debris, keeping it trail-ready at all times.
10. Lightweight but Strong
Despite its strength, this shackle weighs significantly less than steel alternatives. That means less strain on bumpers, mounts, and recovery bags, without sacrificing pulling power.

Who Benefits Most
The Jowl Recovery Shackle is an essential upgrade for off-road enthusiasts who demand both safety and efficiency. Drivers who regularly hit muddy backroads, forest trails, or sand dunes will appreciate its reliability and lightweight handling.
Fleet operators, agricultural workers, and towing specialists also benefit from a shackle hook that performs consistently in demanding conditions. The product’s sleek design even appeals to those who value both performance and aesthetics, adding a professional look to any 4x4 setup.
