The SecureFix Direct Long Dee Shackle with a captive screw pin is designed for industrial professionals and marine enthusiasts who require a reliable, loss-proof connection point for chains or straps. Its primary benefit lies in the captive screw pin, which prevents the component from detaching and getting lost in difficult environments; however, users should be aware that its 8mm sizing is specifically engineered for loads compatible with its dimensions and should not be used for overhead lifting beyond its certified capacity.

The captive screw pin stays attached to the shackle body, meaning you cannot drop or lose it while working, which is especially useful in marine or high-up settings.
No, this shackle is designed for securing loads and general industrial use, not for overhead lifting applications.
The dimensions are A = 60.75mm, B = 16.15mm, C = 16mm, and D = 7mm.
It is built with high resistance to rust and corrosion, making it highly durable in marine environments, though regular maintenance is recommended.
This is an 8mm shackle, intended for use with hardware that matches or is slightly smaller than this diameter.
Clean the threads of the pin and the shackle body to remove grit, then apply a small amount of marine-grade lubricant.
Ensure the pin has not been cross-threaded during the last use; gently unscrew while applying steady pressure.
To install, rotate the captive pin counter-clockwise to open the shackle, feed the chain or strap through the opening, and tighten the pin clockwise until it is seated firmly. The shackle is compatible with chains or straps that accommodate an 8mm bar width. For care, it is recommended to periodically rinse the shackle with fresh water if used in saltwater environments to prevent salt buildup. Inspect the threading periodically to ensure the pin moves smoothly and is free from debris or grit that could compromise the screw mechanism.
