Wichard 3-7/8" Snap Shackle w/Swivel & Clevis Pin

The Wichard 3-7/8" Snap Shackle with Swivel & Clevis Pin is a forged marine-grade connector engineered for rigging systems where secure, quick-release attachment and rotational freedom are critical. Built from Grade 17.4 PH stainless steel, this snap shackle combines the strength needed for high-load applications with the corrosion resistance demanded in salt-water and freshwater environments. The captive plunger pin design ensures the shackle remains safely secured during operation while remaining accessible for rapid deployment when needed.

The integrated swivel eye allows free 360-degree rotation of the snap shackle, eliminating binding and twist that can compromise structural integrity under dynamic loads. This design is particularly valuable in applications where rigging, tackle, or recovery systems experience directional shifts or torsional forces. The plunger pin mechanism enables one-handed opening without tools, and the pin can accept an attached lanyard for added security in situations where accidental release poses a risk. The 3-7/8" size positions this shackle as suitable for medium-duty applications across marine hardware, sailboat rigging, towing, and equipment recovery scenarios.

Anglers operating offshore fishing systems, boaters managing deck hardware, and recovery professionals rely on snap shackles of this class for dependable performance under unpredictable conditions. The Grade 17.4 PH stainless steel specification—commonly used in aerospace and marine fastening—delivers both excellent working load ratings and superior corrosion resistance compared to standard stainless grades, making it ideal for extended saltwater exposure. This shackle is designed for users who require confidence in their rigging without accepting compromise on ease of use or durability.
