    Not to bash on Trail Gear, but holy shit check out the differences in these shackles.
    Trail Gear 3/4" Shackle WLL = 4.75T____5:1 Design Factor
    CM 3/4" Super Carbon Shackle WLL = 6.5T_____6:1 Design Factor


    That is over a 15 Ton difference in breaking strength.

    We are forbidden from using chinese made rigging at work. There have been several deaths and near misses associated with chinese rigging and shackles in particular. Not saying you cannot get high quality chinese hardware, but I think itmis harder to identify legitimate goods from knock offs.
