Wichard 1422W Captive Pin Twisted Shackle 5mm 3/16" 316L Stainless Steel

The Wichard 1422W is a captive pin twisted shackle drop-forged from grade 316L stainless steel, purpose-built for marine and sailing applications where a 90-degree twist alignment between connection points is required. Commonly used to attach unarticulated hardware such as blocks on a rail or purchases, this 5mm (3/16") shackle delivers outstanding working and breaking loads in a compact, corrosion-resistant package.

What sets this shackle apart is its captive pin design — the pin remains physically connected to the body at all times, even when fully opened. A self-locking detent system locks the pin securely into precision indentations, eliminating the risk of the pin vibrating loose or being dropped overboard. The result is a shackle that is safe, reliable, and easy to operate with one hand.
