Ronstan Twisted Shackle - 3/16" Pin - 1-3/32"L x 13/32"W

The Ronstan Twisted Shackle with 3/16" Pin is a versatile, lightweight rigging component engineered for marine, aviation, and tactical applications where secure load attachment is essential. Built to withstand demanding environments, this shackle excels in situations requiring frequent connection and disconnection of equipment under load. Its compact 1-3/32"L x 13/32"W footprint makes it ideal for confined spaces where larger hardware would prove impractical, yet delivers the reliability professionals demand when equipment failure is not an option.

Crafted from Grade 316 stainless steel throughout—both body and pin—this twisted shackle resists corrosion in saltwater, humid, and chemically aggressive environments where standard steel would quickly degrade. The coined shackle pin head ensures smooth operation and reduces snagging on lines or rigging, while the twisted design distributes load forces more evenly across the pin and eye geometry. The high strength-to-weight ratio minimizes the overall system weight without sacrificing structural integrity, a critical advantage in weight-sensitive applications such as sailing, rescue operations, and portable tactical gear systems.

This component serves professionals in marine rigging, climbing and rope systems, emergency services, and equipment attachment scenarios where reliability and corrosion resistance are non-negotiable. The 3/16" pin diameter accommodates standard rigging holes and eyelets commonly found in marine hardware, carabiners, and tactical attachment points. With a weight of just 0.1 lbs, this shackle integrates seamlessly into load chains without adding significant burden, making it equally suitable for overhead suspension systems and portable deployment scenarios where every ounce matters.
