XL Shackle Tech Specs

Our Patented XL shackle is designed as a functional towing, recovery or pulling accessory that coincidentally looks like balls, nuts or testicles. This unique man shaped D-Ring is designed to prevent your recovery, snatch or tow rope from over tightening. This is accomplished by keeping separation between the rope when it is attached to the shackle in a slip knot fashion. The bump on the inside of the Moose Knuckle Offroad shackle spreads the rope apart as it wraps around and tightens. Since the rope is held apart it is unable to tighten further when a heavy load or pull is applied. This bump divider also acts as a separator when two hooks or master links are attached when pulling or lifting.

Additionally, the Patented man shape of the outside of the Moose Knuckle Offroad shackle provides a gap on the bottom side to insert a pry bar, screwdriver or tool between the rope’s slip knot so you can pry the knot loose more easily in the event that it does get a little stuck. On a normal shaped lifting ring or D-Ring without this bump and gap a slip knot will slide or bunch together and tighten down so tight that you often have to beat the rope knot with a hammer to loosen the slip knot which often leads to damaging the rope loop stands and decreasing the life of your tow, snatch or recovery rope. A damaged rope can lead to breakage which can possibly lead to vehicle damage or even injury.
