Wichard 1213W Self-Locking Long D Shackle Grade Stainless Steel Shackles - 6mm 1/4 316L

The Wichard 1213W is a self-locking long D shackle forged from Grade 316L stainless steel, delivering exceptional corrosion resistance and strength for demanding marine and offshore rigging applications. With a 6mm (1/4") diameter pin, this long-bow shackle is engineered for reliable, secure connections where accidental opening is not an option.

No mousing wire or additional locking hardware is required, making rigging faster, cleaner, and more reliable.
