Quick, easy, strong, and secure, Toggles are the perfect way to attach two eyes, or to close soft shackles. Machined from 7075-T6 aircraft aluminum and hard-anodized, these offer the ultimate strength-to-weight ratio for their size. They accept up to 1/2″ line, and are used wherever an easily-removed yet still secure attachment is needed. When used as intended, they have a breaking load of over 20,000 lbs, which is far stronger than any metal shackle for the same size line. A machined groove in the center prevents the toggle from slipping out of a spliced line.
Anywhere a snap shackle or screw-shackle is used, a toggled soft shackle or a variation of it can be employed. Their use prevents the metal-on-metal wear that destroys so many fittings, extending the life of padeyes, headboards, thimbles, and other load-bearing hardware.
Diameter: 1/2″ Length: 1 1/2″ Weight: Inconsequential. No, really. Not enough to worry about.
