Wichard 1305W Self-Locking Allen Head Pin D Shackle Sailing Parts & Accessories - 10mm 316L Stainless

The Wichard 1305W is a 10mm (13/32") self-locking D shackle featuring an Allen head pin design, drop-forged from grade 316L stainless steel for outstanding strength and corrosion resistance in demanding marine and industrial environments. The flush Allen head pin sits fully within the shackle body, eliminating any risk of snagging on lines, sails, or rigging — a critical advantage in high-traffic deck hardware applications.

The self-locking mechanism relies on precision indentations machined into the shackle body that engage and retain the pin head, preventing accidental loosening or release caused by vibration, shock loads, or repeated cycling. No secondary locking wire or mousing is required.

Key Features:

• Drop-forged grade 316L stainless steel construction for superior strength and saltwater corrosion resistance
• Self-locking Allen head pin — pin head sits flush with shackle body, eliminating snag hazards
• Pin locks into precision indentations in the shackle body for vibration-resistant retention
• 10mm (13/32") pin diameter D-style shackle body

• WLL rating available for industrial/lifting applications (WLL = Breaking Load ÷ 5)

Ideal for halyard connections, chain-to-anchor linking, deck hardware, and any application where a low-profile, snag-free shackle is essential. The Wichard 1305W is a trusted choice among sailors and marine professionals worldwide for its combination of security, reliability, and clean installation.
