The SecureFix Direct 10mm Countersunk D Shackle is designed for marine enthusiasts, professional riggers, and DIYers who require a high-security, low-profile connection point. Its primary benefit is the flush-fitting pin, which significantly reduces the risk of snagging and unauthorized tampering compared to standard screw collars. While this design provides superior security, it is important to note that it requires a flatnose screwdriver for operation, which may be less convenient in scenarios where quick, tool-free access is necessary.

No, the countersunk pin is specifically designed to be operated with a flatnose screwdriver to prevent unauthorized tampering.
The breaking load is 3804kg.
Yes, it is manufactured from 316 grade stainless steel, which is highly resistant to corrosion in marine and saltwater environments.
The technical dimensions are A: 34.5mm, B: 22mm, C: 20mm, and D: 10mm.
If the slot is damaged to the point where a screwdriver cannot grip, the pin may need to be carefully extracted using a pair of locking pliers or by cutting a new groove.
Clean the pin slot of any grit or dried salt. If the pin is stuck due to galvanic corrosion, apply a penetrating oil and allow it to sit before attempting to unscrew with a screwdriver.
Ensure you are using a flatnose screwdriver that matches the width of the slot as closely as possible. Avoid using an undersized tool, which can round out the edges of the pin.
