Introducing Wet Tech Rigging's range of Quality Marine Hardware


Top quality 316 Stainless Steel Wichard SpeedLink Snap Shackles, offered in four different sizes to suit a range of applications.

Features: 

  • Developed using Finite Element Analysis software, sporting an optimised shape which makes it extremely light and efficient.
  • Constructed from forged marine grade HR 316 Stainless Steel, and features one of the best strength-to-weight ratios on the market.
  • Modern appearance with ultra-technical lines providing both form and function.
  • Special load-bearing surface of the swivel eye avoids excessive rope wear.
  • Easy opening (even under load) thanks to the generous passage diameter and optimised release angles.

Please note that the responsibility for choosing the correct product falls solely on the buyer. I have attempted to present as much information as possible to help make an educated decision. Ultimately it is up to the buyer to make a judgement call. If you are unsure, please don't hesitate to ask if this product is right for you. All published Safe Working Loads and Break Strengths have come from the manufacturer, and Wet Tech Rigging claims no responsibility for these strengths.

Suggested line diameters are based on Dyneema SK62/Vectran/UHMWPE and Polyester-cored lines. 
Wet Tech Rigging are more than happy to provide friendly advice for all our products, so please contact us for sizing recommendations for higher modulus grades of Dyneema (SK75, SK78, SK99) with higher break strengths than "basic" SK62-grade Dyneema.
