Forged key-pin shackle, made from exceptionally strong and seawater-resistant stainless steel 1.4567 (AISI305CU) by the quality manufacturer WICHARD.
A secondary pin can be unscrewed on the side, so that the shackle can be inserted into an already-spliced eye. The unthreaded captive pin can be released quickly and easily by rotating it a half-turn, which makes these shackles exceptionally good for halyards.

These high-strength shackles, marked by WICHARD with HR (high resistance), are used preferentially with high-load halyards, as well as with wire and Dyneema rope.

The French forge WICHARD stands for the highest quality and safeness now for more than one hundred years. Many adrenaline sport or racing sailors are deeply convinced of the reliability of WICHARD products and have kept developing those in close cooperation wit the the forge for decades.
For the industry all WICHARD shackles are stamped with a Working Load Limit (WLL). This is the maximum in approved working load for the lifting of loads in the commercial sector. Additionally to the breaking load (BRL) WICHARD also states a maximum working load (WL) meaningful in the maritime sector.
