Review on ๐Ÿ’ช Enhance Safety and Longevity with Davis Instruments Shockles Line Snubber by Alberto Brewster

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Shockles are a very effective solution to eliminate almost all shocks on your lines.

Shockles Line Dampeners offer the perfect solution to absorbing hundreds of heavy shock loads daily, especially in strong winds and gusts. We bought several units, one on the bow line, a second on our stern line and a third Shockles in our anchor chain locker. If you enjoy mooring for hours or days, using the Shockles Line Snubber is a must, especially on a choppy day. in strong wind. I had a severe wind bleed while escaping the parachute and this device (when properly installed) stops all bumps, jerks, pulls and bumps and acts like a giant sick shock absorber on your anchor chain. The Shockles carabiner attaches directly to the anchor chain links in minutes. Setup Tip: Set up your Shockles close to the pier and pilings (maybe 4-6 inches from the pilings) which will help with casting and tossing line to dock, so part of your Shockles line almost always lands and lies on the pier. not in the water. GOOD > Shockles are very effective and virtually eliminate all shocks on our lines > Setup is quick and easy - around 20 minutes per Shockles > The Shockles packaging itself is a clear and very well illustrated guide to tying Shockles in a clove knot > One time installed , you literally hear the difference as most of the impact load is removed on the pilings BAD > Nobody
