Wichard 2-3/4" Snap Shackle w/Swivel & Clevis Pin - 70mm

The Wichard 2-3/4" Snap Shackle with Swivel & Clevis Pin (70mm) is a Grade 17.4 PH stainless steel marine hardware essential for sailing rigging, towing operations, and deck attachment points where secure, quick-release connections are critical. Built to withstand demanding saltwater environments, this snap shackle combines corrosion resistance with high working loads, making it ideal for both cruising sailors and offshore fishing applications.

The captive plunger pin design prevents accidental detachment during operation, while the integrated swivel eye allows 360-degree rotation—eliminating line twist and torque stress on halyards, sheets, and towing bridles. The plunger pin is manually operated by pulling to open, with provision for attaching a safety lanyard for additional security in heavy weather. Grade 17.4 PH stainless steel delivers superior strength-to-weight compared to standard 316 stainless, with proven reliability in blue-water cruising and commercial marine settings where corrosion and fatigue resistance directly impact safety.

This hardware suits standing rigging connections, genoa car attachment points, spinnaker pole fittings, and emergency towing loops on fishing vessels and cruising sailboats. The clevis pin swivel configuration accommodates both fixed and dynamic loads without binding. At 0.2 lbs, the compact 2 × 6 inch profile minimizes weight aloft while maintaining the excellent working and breaking loads required for serious offshore work. Wichard snap shackles are recognized throughout the marine industry for precision manufacturing and reliability in conditions where hardware failure creates real risk.
