10 Inch Soft Shackle 7/16 Diameter Standard Duty Gray Factor 55

The Factor 55 Standard Duty Soft Shackle gives you a serious rigging connection point without the weight and sharp edges of a traditional steel screw pin shackle. Built from 7/16-inch diameter UHMWPE 12-strand rope — the same material construction used in synthetic winch lines — this 10-inch (pull-to-pull) shackle is rated to a minimum breaking strength of 39,000 pounds with a working load limit of 7,800 pounds. Both values are clearly marked on the shackle itself.

We like that Factor 55 doesn't just print numbers — every shackle is lab and field-tested to confirm those ratings are consistent and repeatable. Each unit is individually serialized for manufacturing date and material lot traceability, which matters when you're trusting rigging under load. At 6.3 ounces, this shackle is a genuinely lightweight alternative that still handles serious recovery loads.

Engineered, tested, and made in the USA. This is a no-compromise piece of recovery rigging from a brand that builds to verifiable standards.
