Keep your trailer shackles permanently anchored to your safety chains and eliminate the frustration of stolen or misplaced towing hardware. The Snap-D Anti-Theft Retaining Clip 2-Pack provides a durable, tamper-resistant locking solution that secures your shackle directly inside the chain link, ensuring your gear stays exactly where it belongs every time you unhitch.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Theft Deterrence & Loss Prevention: Locks your shackle firmly to your trailer's safety chain link, stopping opportunistic theft and accidental loss while driving or parked.
-
Two-Piece Positive-Lock System: Utilizes a heavy-duty outer retaining block and an interlocking tapered center plug that expands the clip for a locked-in fit.
-
Weather & Road-Resistant Construction: Manufactured from impact-resistant engineered polymers built to handle road vibration, UV exposure, and heavy towing environments.
-
Complete Pair: Supplied as a convenient 2-pack with two outer retaining clips and two locking inserts to outfit both safety chains on dual-chain setups.
Important Sizing & Compatibility
Fitment Check: Ensure your chain link has an internal clearance of 14.8 mm – 15.8 mm to ensure proper seating of the clip.
Installation Instructions
-
Pre-Soak: Place the black outer clip in a cup of hot tap water for 1–2 minutes to soften the polymer for easy installation.
-
Position the Clip: Fit the shackle through your chain link, then use multi-grip pliers to press the black clip into the opening directly behind the shackle loop.
-
Lock in Place: Align the white center plug into the middle cavity of the black clip and gently tap it flush using a hammer until fully seated and secured.
