Gator-Jaw™ Soft Shackle
New!
Stronger Than Steel!
Breaking Strength: 32,000 lbs!
Gator-Jaw™ soft shackles are made from Plasma® rope which is the highest strength synthetic rope available. These rope shackles are stronger than comparable steel shackles. Gator-Jaw™ shackles won’t rust and are so light they float. Towing applications include: 4x4 off-road, agriculture & mining equipment and various marine uses.
Advantages Over Steel Shackles:
The Gator-Jaw shackle by Bubba Rope can be washed off with water and air dried. While Gator-Jaw fibers are stronger than steel they are susceptible to wear and cutting. Always inspect shackle before use for excess wear, cutting, or worn and frayed areas.
Rope diameter: 7/16"
Price: $42.99
and i think to share it with you guys

Im with you. Too much expensive compared with the normal shackles but if you look for the safety side it will not damage the both cars will it hitting the carsOrsomucca;41609 wrote:Honestly I liked them a lot, they look much safer than the steel shackle but...they are superexpensive. Does anybody has actual experience with those?

Some Off-Road shops do sell it locally , and some individuals over Facebook .
disadvantages Over Steel Shackles:-
- Safe functional rate is 1/3 of breaking rate . ( 30000 * 1/3 = 10000 lb ) = 4.75 Ton
- All viking ( snatch ) materials ( including ropes & soft shackles ) have a relatively short life cycle due to stretch mechanism ( 100 - 120 pulls ) .
- price is X10 times the metal shackle .
I would happily pay 500 Dh for a viking recovery rope as I believe its a great investment , in the mean time just cant justify a soft shackle of 300 Dh each .
