Shockles are a custom, gold-anodized, marine-grade, aluminum carabiner load rated to 5,000 lbs with elastomer center load rated to 1,200lbs! The anodizing process protects them from weathering and pitting due to salt-water exposure. The modified "D" shape means two things: 1) The stress is taken on the spine so that the spring-loaded gate can easily be opened even under tension. 2) The shape allows for a wider gate opening allowing use on larger lines. Use them when anchoring, tying down booms, docking, mooring, towing, and much, much more! 5 year manufacturers warranty.
