Wichard 1206W Self-Locking D Shackle 12mm 316L Stainless Steel

The Wichard 1206W is a self-locking D shackle drop-forged from grade 316L stainless steel, delivering outstanding strength and corrosion resistance for demanding marine and rigging applications. With a 12mm (15/32") pin diameter, this shackle is built for reliability in saltwater environments where accidental release simply isn't an option.

The self-locking mechanism features small indentations in the shackle body that engage the head of the pin, securing it in place and preventing it from backing out due to vibrations or dynamic loads. No secondary locking wire or tools are required — the pin clicks positively into position for fast, confident deployment.
