  • Rope shackles. Thoughts?

    Can't say I'd be keen as hooks have square edges which would cut it.

    They don't quote any relevant testing standards. That worries me as much as pulling something from the nudge bar on the John Deere. Certified to something then maybe ok.

      I can see someone forgetting to slide the loop up correctly and the whole thing coming undone mid recovery...
      And aren't standard bow shackles significantly cheaper anyway??

        The only real benefit I can see from these would be they wouldn't be a flying missile if some how something became detached.

          No doubt they would be lighter and easier to pack into Nooks and Crannies due to being soft and flexible.

          I would be interested to see one in the flesh and test it out.

            These sort of things are common place in sailing

              I reckon this looks great - as said, easy to stow and unlikely to be deadly should it become a missile!

                Don't underestimate the strength of rope. Been used for lashing and lifting loads for thousands of years. Simple, strong, effective. Just shows that what is old is new again, albeit in plasma form.

                    Have made quite a few of these from 10mm and 12mm Dyneema/Spectra for both sailing and 4wd purposes. Easy to do. Lots of Youtube videos show you how. They are very strong, light and easy to stow. Haven't broken one yet but you do need to be careful of cuts/abrasion. You might get some shorter lengths of rope from a sail riggers to try out.
