Wichard Thimble Shackle

The Wichard Thimble Shackle is designed for a line to be spliced to the head of the shackle. The Captive Pin keeps the pin attached to the shackle even when unscrewed. The pin is also self locking and the small indentations in the shackle engage the head of the pin. This minimizes the likelihood of accidental release due to vibrations.
