Wichard Captive Pin D Shackle - Diameter 10mm - 13/32"

The Wichard Captive Pin D Shackle in 10mm diameter (13/32") is a marine-grade stainless steel connector engineered for secure load attachment in demanding offshore and field environments. Forged from 316L stainless steel, this captive pin D shackle delivers corrosion resistance and structural integrity in salt-air and moisture-heavy conditions where standard hardware fails. The fixed pin design eliminates the risk of accidental disconnection during high-vibration operations—critical for rescue operations, rigging work, and tactical load-out scenarios.

The captive pin remains tethered to the shackle body at all times, locked into indexed indentations that prevent loosening under dynamic load and continuous movement. This design maintains working load integrity without requiring secondary safety measures or constant visual inspection. The 10mm diameter specification delivers substantial breaking load capacity while remaining compact enough for integrated carry systems, anchor points, and equipment rigging on patrol harnesses and tactical vests. Grade 316L stainless steel resists pitting corrosion that degrades lower-grade fasteners in coastal, jungle, and high-humidity operational theaters.

This shackle is purpose-built for operators, maritime personnel, and field teams who depend on hardware that doesn't fail under sustained tension and environmental stress. Whether securing recovery gear, establishing anchor points in tactical operations, or rigging load-bearing equipment on vessels, the Wichard captive pin design eliminates manual pin management and reduces catastrophic failure risk. The D-shackle geometry distributes load more efficiently than round rings, making it the standard choice across professional rescue, maritime, and tactical communities.
