you look cool suitable for cable winch accessories

I think they look pretty cool. I doubt the rubber bands will last long or even survive once I attach a strap to them. They were cheap and would do now. I'm not sure if I really want to test them. I will buy better ones.

Pros
  • great design
Cons
  • vulgarity

Good quality, insulators need some work.

Earrings are sturdy, the finish is nice and seems durable. However, the rubber isolators don't fit well and I don't think they will stay on their own while riding. Haven't used them for recovery purposes yet, but I'm sure if I ever need them.

Pros
  • Sturdy finish
Cons
  • I won't say anything

Could be better for hauling products and winches

Looks good from a distance but came out of the box with tears in two places (see photo). The powder coating is quite soft. The insulator is very thin and falls off within the first few miles. I have other brands of staples and the insulators fit much tighter. Several typos on the box. Wouldn't recommend it.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Problems

Strong as an outdoor accessory

They are ideal for off-road vehicles. I have an '87 Cherokee that crawls over rocks. From time to time, I or the people I'm with her with get into situations that need to get out. These shackles can be attached to all common shackle rings and are absolutely secure. With these shackles, I lifted the Toyota off a 20 foot cliff.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Appearance

Shackle well built - insulation not so good

The strut itself is very well built and color matched as shown. My only issue is the insulator which I found to be very flimsy and poorly fitting. He was very loose and would probably fall with him on his first day. I have purchased isolators separately from another company which fit much better and are stronger. The poor quality of the insulators is the only reason for the 4 stars.

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

Useless plastic element

Sturdy D-ring but the workmanship isn't perfect and the anti-rattle plastic element doesn't last long. I assume that I will sprinkle on the first drive on the freeway. because this part is so free, it's not even worth attaching. Fragile plastic that doesn't fit in the D-ring like other anti-rattles I've had in the past where you had to strain to get it on this part or just float on it.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Dull packaging

Great form factor, terrible insulator

While I like the overall form factor of the brace itself, its color scheme, and the optional colors it offers, the plastic insulator is rubbish. The isolator is flimsy and does not support or fasten/fix the strut itself and will likely come loose if you are off-roading and hitting something or even on the freeway just due to speed/wind. In fact, the insulator came loose when I took the shackle out of the box. Unfortunately I will be returning them and buying a more traditional rigid brace with…

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • I'll add later
