Get the Uncompromising Strength of Classic, Heavy-Duty Hardware.
At Vintage Parts Revival, we believe essential hardware should be built for work, not for show. These New Old Stock (NOS) D-Shackles are a testament to that philosophy. Forged from high-strength steel and protected by a thick, hot-dip galvanized coating, they offer the rugged, reliable performance that modern, mass-produced hardware often lacks. These are brand new, unused parts, ready for the toughest jobs on the farm, on the water, or on the trail.
Also known as a Chain Shackle, the "D" shape is specifically designed for high-strength, in-line pulling, lifting, and connections. It's the go-to choice for connecting chains, winch lines, and tow straps where a secure, straight-line pull is required. The simple and robust screw pin design allows for quick and easy connection and disconnection, even with gloves on.
From the Mississippi riverfront to the cornfields of the heartland, this is the kind of dependable rigging hardware you can count on.
