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

The Wichard Captive Pin Long D Shackle in 10mm diameter (13/32") represents a premium-grade fastening solution engineered for mission-critical rigging, load-bearing, and recovery applications. Forged from grade 316L stainless steel, this captive pin shackle is built to withstand the demanding environments where corrosion resistance and absolute reliability are non-negotiable—from maritime operations and tactical gear suspension to vehicle recovery and outdoor field gear systems.

The defining feature of this shackle is its captive pin design: the pin remains connected to the body at all times, even when fully opened. This eliminates the primary failure mode of standard shackles—dropped or lost pins during field use. The pin locks into one of the integral indentations on the body, preventing rotation and loosening due to vibrations or dynamic load cycles. Grade 316L stainless delivers superior corrosion resistance in saltwater and aggressive chemical environments, critical for operators working near coast, desert, or industrial zones. The 10mm diameter and long D-configuration provide substantial working and breaking load capacity while maintaining compact profile for rig-mounting and pack integration.

This shackle suits any application requiring a robust, tamper-proof connection point: vehicle recovery rigging, rappelling anchor systems, tactical load-bearing harness attachment, marine mooring, expeditionary gear suspension, and emergency anchor points. Operators and professionals who depend on redundant, fail-safe hardware appreciate the captive pin mechanism—there is no risk of pin loss in high-vibration environments or during rapid deployment. The 316L material ensures years of service without galvanic corrosion or stress-corrosion cracking, making it a long-term investment for serious field work.
