Say goodbye to seized threads, lost pins, and rusty towing hardware. The Snap-D 10mm D Shackle is the ultimate everyday towing staple, delivering the perfect balance of strength, compliance, and convenience for single-axle trailers up to 1600kg ATM.
Featuring Snap-D’s patented spring-loaded captive pin design, this shackle completely eliminates the frustration of conventional screw pins. There are no threads to strip, cross, or seize up from dirt and road grime—just a simple push, half-turn, and snap to secure your safety chains in seconds. Crafted from marine-grade stainless steel, it is built to survive harsh coastal and off-road conditions without ever letting you down at the ramp or on the job.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Patented Half-Turn Release: No tools, spanners, or pliers required. Simply press the pin and give it a quick 180° twist to lock or release your chain effortlessly.
-
Captive Pin Design: The locking pin stays securely retained within the shackle body when opened, ensuring you will never drop a pin in the sand, mud, or boat ramp water.
-
Premium Marine-Grade Stainless Steel: Engineered from heavy-duty 304 stainless steel with a stainless internal spring, resisting rust, road grime, and salt spray for years of reliable use.
-
Road & Transport Compliant: Clearly stamped with its ATM rating directly on the body, meeting Australian Towing Standards (AS 4177) and New Zealand regulations for stress-free roadside checks.
-
Anti-Theft Clip Compatible: Fully compatible with Snap-D Anti-Theft Retaining Clips, locking your shackle permanently to your safety chain to prevent opportunistic theft when parked.
